    So Im getting ready to pick up those Built Right rear shock towers. My Q is, once the rear is done wont it be sitting higher than the front? What do I do while Im collecting all of the front stuff. I have the Defined SUA kit already.

    Also looking for some King triples or double 16" bypasses used would be great.

    Yes. I read you should start with the rear. Ran in to some money issues but things are turning around now. I do have some front items already, like Glassworks fenders spindle gussets cam tab gussets TC secondary shock hoops. Just looking for items as they come up.

    if i were you, id wait to do the rear. its going to have a gnarly stinkbug look if your front is stock. i didnt necessarily start with the rear either but i got some suspension to last me till i can LT the rear and upgrade the front.

    Yes. Always start with the rear. It may look stinkbug because of the new leafs. But it wont be that bad.. Its a work in progress :D

    Yeah thats what I thought. But now I have almost everthing to do the rear. I thought about getting some 5100s for the front while I get the rest of the front items. Would the 5100s level the front enough not to look stupid?

    yes. i was going to recommend the 5100's to you... they're less than $200 for the pair.

    their performance will be severely lacking compared to the rear end, but they're def better than stock

    The rear with the Defined kit won't make you look super high int he rear, leafs are only 2" over stock.. 5100's set at 1.75 should level you up good for a temp solution.

    Since I'm the only one with that exact set-up let me know if you have any questions.

    Cool I think they are fairly cheap and I will off them once I am ready to do the front

    edit: dont know why the other post didnt show up before I replied. I wont be romping hard until I get the front done.

    Post up some motivational videos and picture of people enjoying their trucks!

    Ever since I got the DD and I dont drive my truck too often is slowly drawing me away from wheeling...and the fact that its 115 outside. I have a Defined SUA sitting in the garage and have come across some decent deals on rear shocks for rubbing with a bedcage of some sort.

    I need some motivation. Maybe I will try to get some wheeling in sometime soon first thing in the morning.
