    Sure can! Now whether or not you'll be happy with the ride is a different story.

    would replacing the coils be the only way to improve the ride if you want that amount of lift?

    Yep! OME 885 or 887 would be your coil of choice. 885=2.25” 887=2.75” on your truck (roughly)

    Springs are pre-loaded when they cannot reach full extension because of a physical obstruction.

    Installed a Cali Raised 20” led spot beam behind the grill on the BAMF mounting brackets. Wired up to a AOB switch with anytime on. The AOB switches are nice...back lit in red with the dash lights on then the upper half comes on in green when you turn the led on.

    Not today but got around to installing the PS @Mobtown Offroad slider and couldn't be happier. Also took off the fake silver plastic beadlocks on the wheels and completely love how they look now compared to with them on. Now just patiently waiting on some new goodies to come next month..

    That looks awesome! And clean install. How does it look with the grill installed? Stock grill or mesh?

    None yet... except removing mud flaps
    Seems like a great middle ground between a full bumper and the hybrid ones with more full end protection. Looks great on there. Thanks

    I'm trying to get a softer ride than stock Sport suspension, but I want more clearance for larger tires.

    I’m trying to accomplish the same thing. But to fit in the garage I can’t change anything with the back. Looking to raise 1.5” to 1.75” in the front and improve ride quality too.

    Do you have a shell? Why would raising the back keep you out of the garage o_O

    Low garage. I have approx 1” between the shark fin and the garage door when it’s in it’s highest position.

    My backup plan is to switch to a puck sat antenna if needed. That would give me a little extra clearance.
