I'm well aware of the cost. Just figuring out if I'm going with the TG kit. or piecemeal parts.

I didn't vote for anybody local that sent me junk mail or spammed my tv ads.

 

Saw this in my area

 

Not a 5 window but still cool. That one looks pretty clean.

 

It kind of feels like the whole nation is on Jerry Springer right now watching two potential deadbeat fathers sweat over the impending DNA results of an illegitimate love child

 

so ive got 881 coils and 5100 all around with the cso18r dakar leaf springs in the back. is it common for the front to be lower? what would be best to level the truck?

 

Dakars are known to sit high after installation, they will settle some over the next few days/weeks. Putting weight in the back and driving around will help

Also, 881s usually only give about 2" lift max, whereas Dakars are more like 2.5 - 3"...so it will probably sit a little higher no matter what unless you have weight back there all the time

 

will they have been on about a year now and ive got a wooden platform in the bed for camping and a camper top of course. Ive thought about moving the coils up to the second setting but ive heard its not the best thing to do for the strut.

 

I added another part to my last post, 881s don't really lift more than 1.5 - 2" up front so it's likely the Dakars are going to sit higher in the rear no matter what.

Personally I like a good 1 - 2" of rake but if you really want it level, you might want to try the 882 springs instead. Or since you have 5100s you could always change the settings on those for more lift up front

 

Well put

 

thinkin about picking up some side work again to pay for those tons and 40s

 

shieddd ol blue boutta get spoiled? whats ur plan rn with it all, dont get on here too much to keep up anymore
