When will the coil overs be available?
Can you fit the same tire rim combo with a 4 in lift?
The truck comes 2” inches lift from factory. If you do the 6.5” lift, does this mean it’s a 8.5” lift? Thanks for your reply!
No it doesn't.
Does going to coil over suspension reduce your towing capacity and payload?
Can you still use 4 high on the freeway with this lift?
What UCA do you recommend with this kit? Looking for top quality not budget
they have bds UCAs but right now kryptonite products has the best overall upper control arms and balljoints
