    So I'm running the 881 OME coils on Bilstien 5100s. Well to make a long story short they're on the top setting and I don't mind the ride but is this going to murder my coil/shocks in the long run? I don't wheel hardcore I basically drive to work and go down a trail to throw my kayaks in the lake every now and then. image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg And do you think I need to do a diff drop? I think the truck rides great I just don't want to fuck anything up lol.

    So the boot slide mod will solve most of the issues I'll have with this much lift? you guys think?

    If I keep it out of 4x4 will the boots still shred? Doing a diff drop and the boot slide mod would prolly do it justice?
