    Other than the sway bar drop / relocation brackets, what are my options? Not really a fan of a thin piece of aluminum with bolts threaded in maybe 1/2" Seems there's a good chance of failure. Lift will be 3"

    You will love this setup. I just did mine with the same 2.5 shocks with 2.0 rear res. Man truck rides like butter. You'll be very happy.

    I went with BFG KO2 265/70/R17, I wanted the C rated tire and didn't want to impact the MPGs to much.

    Do you know what amount of lift the front coil overs come set from the factory? Did you adjust yours at all, I am only looking to get about 2 inches in the front.

    The coilovers are preset for 3" for the 2nd gen. That means they are also preset for 2" for the 3rd gen. If that makes sense. In other words you shouldn't have to adjust them if all you want is 2"

    BFG KO is a great tire but they're heavy. There are other AT tires that are just as good and last just as long but don't weigh as much. Look at the General Grabber AT2

    Anyone here running a 295/75/16 with a 3" lift? I hope to be able to do so using stock 16s and a 1.25" SpiderTrax wheel spacer. What do you guys think?

    They're 1/2" wider than a 285 75 16 which are run with a 3" lift all the time. Does that 1/2" make all the difference?

    Hey this looks great. I'm a newbie with this stuff but I think it may be what I'm looking for. Question is with the aal will load be minimal on squat? I'm needing to carry a ladder and sometimes some shingles for my company and was wanting to prevent that. Also, how much lift in inches does this give approximately? Again, looks really good and I like the slightly higher back end stance. I think it may be what I'm looking for as opposed to a standard lift

    I don't really have too much info on towing as I haven't towed anything yet or probably ever will. I did get the tow package though. Maybe some one else can chime in. The Fox kit with extended coilovers is good for 3" of lift.
