    So how does this thing feel at around 70-75 mph??? Is tippy when cornering at low speeds (30-35)?? Looks awesome! And the lights in the skid plate are kinda cool. They must light up the ground pretty good!

    Hi guys I need some advice on a mild lift..

    I haul a lot of gear in the back of my runner including a dirtbike on a carrier hitch, generally about 500lbs or so. I don't want to lift the front, or crank the t bar or space the BJ anything like that. All I want to do is swap shocks front and rear for better ride on the highway, and lift the rear really minor like 0.5" to 1" so the truck rides level with all the weight in the back. What is the best option to do?

    Well I like the LC coils I'm running but that'll get you round 3 or so from stock. I'm running with the LC coils and no spacers in the front yet (I know I know I've had them for a year and still not installed...) It's a bit raked but the ride isn't all that bad.

    Fronts will work fine. I bought the same rear shock and had to return for one that was an inch and a half longer. I got the skyjacker nitrogen shocks they have been good shocks. I will try to get the part number when I get home for you

    And these should work perfect for the LC Coil/BJ spacer lift?

    I ordered 2.5" lift rear springs, and bj spacers and cranked t bars up front to make it sit level front to back.

    The lc springs on average lift about 3" so these shocks should fit your rig nicely.

    Good ride. Pain to put on as they are nitro filled which means good rebound and collapse on the trail or street, just hard to close manuely.

    Go the .75.… the 2" along with the 3 - 4 " u will gain from lc coils will be too much for the angle of the trailing arms. I used lc coils that were 1" taller and I had to space the back of my fuel tank about 15mm to clear the upper trailing arm on the right hand side.

    It's actually pretty stable even at speeds. I was expecting it to be a bit scary but I barely had to adjust my driving style. I'm running it without a rear sway bar at the moment and that is definitely noticeable in the corners. Still…not bad thought

    excuse me if this might be a repeated/dumb question....but are the short sided and long sided springs referring to the number of wraps? IE 7 would be short and 8 would be long. And do all the 80 have same number of wraps on pairs? rear 7 wrap front 8s? Hope this isnt confusing..thanks in advance.

    Right on just looking at it I would imagine a lot of body roll but if that's not the case then wow! Like I said its a great looking truck!
