    Guys I think this is a excellent deal! I did the qa1’s on my truck and wish I had the plates (would have saved me quite a bit of time) the upgrade is 100000% worth it my truck drives superb! #supportforagoodproduct

    Thanks man! Really appreciate it! And for sure the coilovers make a huge difference in driveability. I've had mine 10+ years and they're still doing great!

    Someday, I'll be picking up a set! If I get a Christmas bonus this year (not a great year for the company I work at...), hopefully it will be sooner rather than later!

    I dont know off hand but I'm sure they have a longer spring and shock combo that could potentially lift it a bit. I'm sure they'd be able to help out.

    Depends on the spring length you get. But usually around 3-4 inches. Even more if you pair it with a ball joint flip.

    Sounds good, I am may have to look into this when I am redoing my suspension! What range of length and spring rates are suggested for our regular cab 1st gens?

    There are 8" and 10" springs with rates in the 10" ranging from somewhere around 350lbs and up and the lowest I've found recently in the 8" is 600lbs. But theres really a bunch of spring options from other companies. I've seen people use swift springs. You can really choose whatever you want.

    Anyone have a winning combination of parts for using these with a lift vs a drop?

    I've had a couple customers say they're going to lift their trucks with them. I havent gotten back any concrete feedback but I know one guy is pretty close. I'll follow up with him and see what he has going on.

    Cool, let me know what you find. I am down to order some plates to try... I have a pair of old LCAs I can sand blast and practice welding on. I am not looking for anything crazy... just like 2-3 inches of lift in the front.
    I am currently running the v6 springs + Doetsch UCAs in my 97 and they give about 1" of lift but they do not work with spring spacers as the springs start to bulge and cause interference with the UCAs at full droop. Even without spacers there is a very slight bulging out on the springs. I am thinking coil-overs could be a perfect solution.
