    This kit, and then wait a few months for control arms.... or just a full OME kit with LR control arms and be done with it?

    I am what you would call a "weekend warrior". My truck is my office and I drive around 20-25k miles a year. I need a bit more height for clearance when hunting and such, plus the odd trip to the woods or backroads with my kids just for fun to get the truck dirty. I know car stuff, so I look to you folks with the truck stuff.

    Is there an advantage to someone like me getting the extended length coilovers or the compression adjuster for the rear shocks?

    That kit will lift the rear as well, correct? Hence the longer brake lines?

    So i'm guessing the standard length fronts then as well?

    Yes- about 23.5" to 24" hub to fender or so. (2-3" lift)

    @mattonthewater i have an Icon version of what you are considering. Extended length lines in rear, may not "need" but might want ext length lines up front.

    Also, i had @ahspurlock remove the top overload of my Dakar springs for a lower lift. (May need to add the back in now, lol!)
