$1000 To "YOUR" Front End

Gouge

You need to take some high qualtity digital shots of that beauty! This camera pic isn't cutting it anymore for me. LOL

 

You left off ICON and Total Chaos.

 

I vote toytec.

 

ya im guessing Icons were Donahoes whenever the thread was made.

 

I got 5100's all around with OME 885's up front and 2" rear AAL's!!! Oh and TC UCA's!!!

 

i vote...slam dat faka...bwahahahaha

nah nah

i'd go with coilovers. skip the spacers man

 

Kings all the way i got mine on order and my dad has them on his beast

for about 1300 (or thats what i paid) you get for dual camber shocks

Two coilovers front
Two rear air shocks

together you can crank them up to 3 inches front and rear lift if you have new ucas

 

www.chaosfab.com they have the best kit imo, u can find these parts used as well on www.racedezert.com look under the clasifieds sorry its www.race-dezert.com

 

I priced out the front suspension I'd like to have in the future and it was over $2000

Fox 2.5 resi Mid travel + TC UCAs

 

Fox 2.5!

 

QA1's to slam my front more

 

When i get the money i'll hopefully be going with king coilover's from downsouth motorsports there just under a 1000.

Does any part of you wish you'd gotten some coil-overs for your truck or are you satisfied with the performance struts?

 

KING!!!!! FTW

 

i Just put in my toytec Ultimate lift kit, love it. I went from a spacer lift to the toytec and the truck handles alot better on the road. Havent took it offroad yet but will do shortly

 

My front, Icon (Donahoe) Resis and TC UCAs...a lot of pennies, but worth every single one...

 

I'm taking a different tack from everyone else.

I'm guessing you're on a budget and you don't mention rear suspension at all. Nor do you mention tires and wheels. Since someone else is buying the front for you, I'm guessing (maybe wrong) that it'll be a while before you can afford these other components.

I'm not a fan of lifting the front 3" and leaving the rear at stock ride height.

So my suggestion is a complete set of bilstein 5100s, all 4 corners. Set them at 1.75 in the front and get a 1.5" add a leaf in the back. All up that's safely under your $1000 threshold, even including shipping and the alignment you'll need after you do the install.

That'll work really well, and will keep your truck from being 'ass-down' and won't look too weird while you're waiting to get your upgraded tires and wheels.

EDIT: Gaa! I've been bitten by Replying to Old Thread Bump Syndrome! (ROTBS ;-) )

 

Those look like 5100's and Eibach springs but..what strut mount is that? I want it..
