    I have done v6 coils, daystar spacers, bilstein shocks and fabtech spindles. Love the way it sits but wouldn’t mind doing another step up. And thank you

    I never use Tw on the weekends, sorry for the delay in response.

    But, unless u go bigger tires with more cutting or fiberglass for more clearance to stuff the bigger tires (more ground clearance); the only way to get higher than where ur at is with LT as stated.

    BUT, TBH the money you have spent this far on ur build could cover the cost of someone's used LT online. I've seen kits go for $800-1k online used, just keep ur eyes peeled. Truck looks good tho, any more pics of it?

    I appreciate it! And I sure do, I’ve been wanting to make a thread of my truck from when I first got it when I was 16 to now. 4 years of fun!C26173CF-0F35-4DF6-861A-7EAA23E6FC6E.jpg

    man the stance on that! :drool::drool::drool: goals right there, I've got a ways to go haha. Yes, please make a thread when u get a time! Not many 5 lug threads on TW at all!

    How is the ride with the v6 coils and the daystar? I have the daystar spacer at home and was thinking of getting spindles, but might opt to do the v6 coils and spacer for now (and get spindles later)
    My last truck was a 97 ram with a 2.5 inch spacer, so I like a lil stiffer ride anyways

    they don't sell it anymore, or it would be a good choice. Nowadays with the first gen 5 lugs JD fab's kit is the way to go

    It was a little stiff at first but now they have some miles on them I think they are perfect. Just the coils and spacers gave my truck a very nice leveled look before I did the spindles

    Perfect, makes me happy to know you've enjoyed your build so far! Only thing that sucks in my case is the v6 coils are now ~$100 versus 70-80 with inflation haha.


    btw.. here would be an example of someone selling some LT for our trucks. not a bad price

    let us know if u got any other questions, otherwise welcome and look forward to seeing more!
