New member installing new suspension soon!

Been lurkin the forum for a while now and since I'm finally upgrading my suspension I though what a better time to become a member. Next weekend I will be installing my fox 2.5 extended travel coilovers with the icon UCA's and icon rear 2.0 shocks. Also putting new bushings in my lower control arms while I'm at it. Any advice or suggestions or questions are welcome.

 

Welcome!

 

Welcome! My suggestion. Save more money for your pickup. Once it starts the infatuation never ends Bwahahaahahahahaha

 

Haha the infatuation has started and I don't see it stopping any time soon. Is there a consensus on the best leaf spring pack to buy? It'll be my daily driver with some occasional trail riding

 

Rite on, ,I have simular set up, I used TOTAL CHAOS UCAs but the ICON COILS are amazing, love them, what a difference. They come set at 2" leave the art that. It's perfect. Enjoy and welcome to the TW. I've been on this site for 1 month now. Good times, I'm becoming addicted

 

You aren't the only one becoming addicted lol
Welcome OP!!!

 

Yeah I'm dying to install them they're just sitting in my garage. I have a stupid spacer lift right now so I'm sure the ride quality will improve dramatically after the install

 

As for your fear end, I just put an ADD A LEAF and 2" blocks, until I can afford proper leaf pack. I use my truck dayly and for construction, work truck. Been set like this for two years now, and is fine

 

An add a leaf might be the way to go. I wonder how much of a difference a whole new pack makes and if it's worth the extra money

 

The arm install is kinda a bitch, but worth it, go on utube, TOTAL CHAOS has a DIY video, they say 15 min install, but took me a few hours. It's hard to get the main arm bolt to align, gotta bend or cut some areas, you'll understand once you get into it. ...good luck, have fun

 

Totally worth the money, but for $60 on ebay you can get the leaf and be up and running while you decide on what you want

 

That's the kind of advice i came here for thanks man!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... not a spacer lift! Not to worry, been there, done that. You're going to really notice the difference, and like it!

I put a 1" block and 2" AAL. Works perfect. I also added Air Lift air bags for when I tow heavy.

I've never had a leaf pack, but I can tell you that $70 CAD is a lot cheaper than $700, and achieves the same thing. Well, not exactly, but it sure frees up a lot of cash for other mods!

Welcome, and enjoy your new truck!

 

Yeah I'll definitely be going the add a leaf direction after breaking the bank with the parts I already bought haha

 

Anybody have any experience with fox coilovers? I went with fox cuz they seem the most race proven
