    Does anyone know off the top of their head what coilovers would work best with this setup? Currently have procomp coilovers on but was told they dont rebuild them (seemed strange)

    Smitty I am doing my kit now (should be done tuesday) and running the RCD Extended shocks for the RCD kit (5" lift shocks) with a Eibach 620 coil. Budget way to eliminate spacers without running true coil-overs and maybe even a good option instead of rebuilding them (might even cost the same). Your actual other coilover options are King and Fox or you're looking at the Pro Comp ones you have of Dirt Logic by Fabtech. Lot of guys love the King setup.

    No problem. Yea I believe the part # you want is F4-BE5-E122-T0 for the shocks. Here are mine. Once again these aren't coilovers but its an option.

    This thread has all the info on 6" lifts and is a good place to get attention of other Drop Bracket users. They helped me vastly in my build. Long thread but if you search it lots of info or you can PM buys with a King setup and figure out their part number.

    Love my setup! Smooth ride. No complaints or issues at all. I recommend this setup for sure.

    Nice, I'm gonna be getting these. Thoughts on the 620 springs with a winch and all pro plate bumper?

    Sorry I work nights. No experience with armor and these springs. I would go with a spring similar to what the common springs guys run on 3" setups with 5100s with armor. That said and I may be incorrect but maybe an OME 886 coil may be a better option. 660 lb spring weight vs 620 lb. @smitty997 how much weight do you plan on adding? Skids, steel bumpers, winch adds up real fast.

    @Jmad1997 may have a better answer he ran this setup with armor. He is a great dude and helped me out a bunch when I planned my build/setup!

    I would go with a higher spring rate. I didn’t dislike the ride but since I have switched to kings with the 700lb coils I have had a better ride quality that I control over the bilstiens. I think with your armor weight a 700lb coil would be a sweet spot
