    I'm trying to maintain a 4" lift to accommodate my front lift. Not really sure. Spring over axel I think.

    Yes, I will have one front, one rear. I was mentioning I have to do my front suspension later.

    Don't think you are understanding what I am saying. Go look at your rear shock set up now one is on the rear side one is on the front side of the axle and they are leaned that direction this is to help combat axle wrap to a certain extent. Having the shocks more vertical and on one plane so to speak can increase your chances of axle wrap. Another way to help combat this is to add some length to your spring perches and make sure you keep the overload springs in the pack.

    I'm not familiar with the relocates. I figured they when in the same configuration as stock but just longer, different mount points.

    It is a lot of work especially to the extent we went. We bit off quite a mouth full for one weekend. Skip isn't telling you we also did a cab mount relocate on his truck and rear suspension on mine. Just Skip and I worked about 6 hours on Friday night, 15 hours on Saturday, and about another 5 on Sunday. If it wasn't for the help from a bunch of really good guys on Saturday we would never have gotten so much done. You also have to consider the crew. I have been doing welding and fab work for years as a profession, @ovrlndkull used to build race cars and do chassis work, @EatSleepTacos has done quite a lot of fab work and is an all around hard worker and smart guy with these trucks, @PyritePirateBill has been doing body work and welding for 30 years or so like myself, @boogie3478 just an all around good guy and willing to do anything he could to help, and finally @pabstsmeared #simulated weight ( inside joke) busted his ass helping in any way he could and all of it was dirty work. A lot of the time we had 2 welders running at the same time. It was the most exhausting yet most fun weekend I have had in years.
    I did make damn sure this crew was fed well if anybody left hungry that was their fault. Also other than Skip and myself every one of these guys drove at least an hour just to come help at their own exspense. If that isn't TW at it's best IDK what is. Skip and I kept it pretty much invitation only simply due to the amount of work that was needed to get done and it paid off in spades. We couldn't have asked for a better group of guys to help.

    It'll all come together. Do your research, listen to these guys they know quite a bit and have done it, don't get in a rush. If your buddy has experience with it that is a plus of course. Yes when you wade through all the bull shit you can find in here there are some really smart folks willing to help. I was in no way the brains of this operation they just let me burn shit

    Sounds like me. Definitely have will but need guidance on way. Currently I believe I'm the most mod driven guy here. I spent more than triple my truck payment on mods per month. Ouch says credit card.

    Dont even see the point in price shopping performance suspension. Kings? Check. Archive components? Check. Best of the best. Check.

    What makes Fox better than KING? Honest question as at that price point, I've heard it's just a Coke/Pepsi Ford/Chevy brand loyalty thing.

    I would be happy with kings or fox. Only thing swayed my thoughts were many fox shocks are sold with the reason for buying kings. Haven't seen it go the other way.
