    They are all good, I would go with whatever is readily available parts wise, and at a good price.

    I'll probably be going with radflo coilovers through 4wheelunderground myself, price seems pretty reasonable.

    Yeah.... Don't really need anything fancy for crawling IMHO. You're going slow enough. Even remote resi's are prolly overkill unless you're rock hopping or being mr trophy truck. :cool: :notsure:

    I'm gonna use the spring and link mounts off a junked 90's cruiser I think so I shouldn't need highsteer... like I said. Need more research. I think I should be able to do steering linkages without too many purchased aftermarket parts

    Oh i plan on beating on my truck thats for sure, otherwise whats the point of a D60? Remote resi's are a must and cost isn't that much more. I have SAW 2.0s on the truck now and love them i bought them used and rebuilt them parts are easy as shit to get through polypro. and i think they are just over 1k for the pair with dual rate springs and denders. Fox is about $200 more, and kink is like 1K more. but i want what isn't gonna break after i drop of a 7 foor ledge im moab like its a speed bump.

    Extra sheet metal in that area, too lazy to relocate the fill tube, need more? Haha, most will use the outer edge of the fender flare as a template and cut along that line.
