Question about 4x4 parts suspension lift package

Postby flat6symphony » Fri Apr 17, 2015 1:13 pm

I'm looking at the deluxe suspension package on 4x4parts.com

Do I reuse my OEM front coil springs along with the new Bilstein adjustable front shocks?

Those guys are great to deal with,however what is not explained is the limit of that strut with your spring. I just did the same kit and ended up having to put spacers on instead. Those struts lift the truck by putting the spring under compression. What ends up happening is the strut rides at its upmost position all the time.When you accelerate,the strut cannot rebound any more. It rides like its on the bump stop all the time. I would suggest the prg mini lift and a set of shocks of your choosing. I ended up with the bilstiens,stock springs front and rear, prg mini lift and the airlift bags in the rear. It rides better than stock and looks perfect.
