$1000 To "YOUR" Front End

Lets say someone will buy you $1,000 bucks worth of front end suspension. I know I want Coil Overs SO bad! and some Uni Ball uca's but of what money I don't use they'll give me. (I LOVE MY grand parents!!! last few trucks it was the was 1st thing to break so they'll buy a new one so it can't )

- -Post pic's of YOUR front end AND SAY what is it and you happy or not-
- I got a 1st gen but want to know some if brands are shit off road/ can feel cracks in the driveway compared to others. ya know the specks of em all-

- - I want some feed back of what to get...
- Looking for: Total lift of give or take 3" to the front end. I do play offroad mainly mud, typical dirt/ rock roads and your occasional rivers/ lakes and snow. I don't want to fully drop the diff. like cut and weld shit like some kits, though I do have a spacer kit that has the 8" bolts and spacers rather just use that.

 

Skip the spacer lifts, go straight for some coilovers. My spacer lift isnt cutting it for me and now i'm having to do it over with better stuff. At least go for some OME coil springs on their shocks if you dont want to fork out the 1000 for a pair of real coilovers. Maybe get some SAW coilovers as they're a tad cheaper at around $750.

 

watch out people will start flaming you for having nice family like they did to Lentsnh haha. That and awesome set of grandparents!

 

I got a spacer lift. It works for me but the ride can be a little "harsh". If I had the money at the time I'd have got either the Toytec ultimate kit, or the Icon c/o's. It seems that a lot of people start with spacers then upgrade.

 

I love my Skyjacker lift

Edit: 3" performance strut in front, 2" full leaf spring replacement in rear. good middle of the road price to give you money for the uca's

 

I voted Donnahoe as they're high end and very nice. They're actually called 'IVD' now just so ya know, Icon Vehicle Dynamics.

 

So is that a complete package or just the rear?

 

Nevermind

 

If thats directed towards me I know i'm retarded and its probably a dumb question, but it just didnt seem like a complete package to me.

 

No that wasn't directed at ya.

 

My setup! Toytec coilovers, and TC UCA's!

 

Rides great! and I love the UCA's! I dont much hard core offroading like I think you do... But it was 10x's better then my spacer lift. I also have a 2" AAL+1" block in rear.

 

that is the complete package. Front struts & rear replacement springs. Your factory springs swap to the skyjacker front struts thats why it may not look like the complete package, heres a pic of the difference in size

 

Toytec.

 

I got Bilstein 5100's to start. I had the front ones set to 2.5" and then had a add-a-leaf in the rear for 1.5" of lift. I just recently got the Toytec coilover kit that coverts the Bilstein 5100's to adjustable coilovers ($430). I also upgraded my UCAs to the Camburg ball-joint based UCAs ($360 to my door). I would have went with Total Chaos or even the Camburg uni-ball UCAs, but since I was only looking to fix my front end alignment issues I decided to save some money and go with the better priced ball-joint based UCAs. Have a look at my signature for all the mods.

 

Fox 2.0 resi coilovers

 

When I first read "getting a front end package", I thought it was some porn. But as it is I would go with Danahoe, AKA Icon. I love my Icons. the only other one I would go with would be the Kings. Your truck is worth the best.

 

Fox pro 2.5 Coilovers and Camburg uni-ball UCA's. Or just save the $1000 and work towards getting Long Travel. Good Luck and I hope you make the right with choice with whatever you get. Post some pics when you get it setup.

 

i love my toytec ultimate lift kit, 3"
