    285/75 with 16" wheels or 285/70 with 17" wheels.

    Yes, its possible to put an 1" spacers...but I would highly recommend against it. Why would you want to add spacers on top of adjustable coilovers, seems counter-productive. :confused:

    LOL! Just remove the sway bar completely and consider getting extended brake lines, problem solved. :)

    Are you talking about longer brake lines in the front? Not needed....I was talking about in the rear with the flexy ass allpro leaf pack!

    Just took some measurements of the rear set up....currently with a 2.0 block I am sitting at 3.5" from top of axle to top of oem leafs. The new AP leafs measure 3". Will I lose a 1/2" in the rear and have to worry about the gangster lean? I could always add a 1" block in the rear but rather not....

    I think thats just the thickness of the leafs and not the lift itself. That expedition pack will give you 4" lift unloaded. They are however meant to have a few hundred pounds in the bed and prob bring you to 3" lift. You should have plenty of rear lift!

    Well after looking around it seems like they will actually provide 4" of lift with an empty bed and 3" with 400-500lbs load.

    I read on all pro's website that the 2.5" coilovers come with sway bar relocators.
    I assume this kit comes with the sway bar relocation plates.

    This kit doesn't come with sway bar relocate brackets, but I can get them for you for an additional $25. PM sent to both of you.

    YOU WILL BE MISSED Satoshi Grill, FX-R retros, husky liners, bed bolt d-rings, TRD short throw shifter, 2.5 Fox Coil overs, AP UCA's, AP Expo rear leaf with Fox 2.0 shocks, Extended SS brake lines, AP kick-out sliders, 265/75/16 on Konig Countersteers, AllPro Apex front bumper and Zip Ties.
    You don't need no stinkin' sway bar!

    So far I have only installed the front CO's, AP UCA and the extended brake line but ..... HOLY CRAP:eek: ! Its like a different truck! I am thoroughly impressed with the ride quality and I haven't adjusted anything or gotten it aligned yet.

    I see plenty of threads about best lift for the price and I am convinced that UCA's, CO's in front and new leafs/shocks is the way to do right. I am putting up some teaser pics so you can see the finished outcome.

    Here is my setup:
    Suspension
    -Icon extended travel front coilovers for 3” front lift
    -Walker Evans 2.0 rear shocks
    -All Pro U-bolt flip kit
    -DownSouth Motorsports "Boxed" Upper Control Arms (Won in DSM Facebook contest!!)
    -Rear Leaf TSB and Wheelers AAL for 4" rear lift
    -Diff drop kit

    I've got about 1300- into it. I bought the coilovers from someone on here who bought them new and never used them, paid 875 for those, bought my walker evans used (lightly) for 200- and bought the rest brand new. Got lucky and won a set of UCAs from DSM. All in all it doesn't have to be crazy expensive if you wait for good deals to pop up and piece together a good quality kit. I'm extremely happy with mine
