    Bolt on fenders, 6 inch lift, aftermarket exhaust, diy retrofit headlights, trd grill logo, forge monoblock 20r, nitto grappler 32’, led interior and exterior lighting, more to come.
    Just curious to know if I could use these cranked up at its highest setting 60648F34-5981-41E9-9E09-9505179BE783.jpg
    With these on top to get close to a 6 inch lift?0D547877-506C-41E9-9ECF-EDB71BE0DF93.jpg
    Will the Ride be really stiff? is there any other way to accommodate a 6 inch bds lift I don’t want to buy crazy expensive coilovers I’ve heard of people using RCD Bilsteins and a longer coil…?

    thanks

    Doesn’t BDS come with spacers for the shocks?

    do not stack those two products!

    Hey so my trucks at 100k miles and wanting to get rid of the spacer tower my lift kit came with and I was wondering if there’s anything I could replace it with to achieve that 6“ height without having to spend so much. is there any possible Bilstein setup that can keep ride quality?

    Your only option is to by an extended length coil over for a six inch kit. Get out your pocket book.

    Even I want lift, but I would look into going down to a 2-3 inch instead of doing that. Just add girth :rofl:
