    Just wanted to say thanks to everyone on this site for all the information they provide. I've been lurking and taking it all in for a while and finally got around to starting on my 2012 DC.

    So far I've blacked out the badges and put a set of N-Fab side steps on her.
    Got 4 Bilstein 5100s coming along with an AAL and new set of Mickey Thompson SideBiter IIs and 275/70/17 BFG All Terrain T/A KO2s. Hopefully I'll be able to post that up in the next couple of weeks.

    Nice truck. My advice - if you're switching out the shocks anyway and you want some lift, pay the extra little bit of cash for a set of Old Man Emu springs. 884's will give you 2" of lift so you can leave the billies at 0 and the ride will be much nicer than preloading your stock springs. 883 for 1.5", 885 for 2.5".

    Thanks. I debated A LOT about OME springs and how people on here regarded the ride vs stock. Gonna try it like this and see how it is; if I hate it I've already got the springs in mind.
    Thanks for the reply and advice.

    Welcome!

    Another option are Toytech/Eibach springs, they are longer than stock springs but combined with the Billys give a stock like ride. I've had them for 3-4 years now and love them.
