    You will have to modify the drop bracket for the larger cam bolts..you will also have to modify the cam bolts themselves to be able to align the truck because they are larger on the 2016....OR.. In theory you could get 2015 lower control arms and cam blots..The bump stops also had to be modified

    thanks, you had mentioned somewhere earlier in this conversation about you would have gotten new upper control arms? which ones will fit the 2016 with this lift kit. the ones i found like tough county state they are for use on trucks with a 2 to 3 inch lift?

    Front might sag a little. I had to swap the #600lb springs for heavier ones

    so your saying the springs that come with the $3500 BDS Kit that has Fox 2.5" coil-over remote reservoir shocks are not good enough? I thought i bought the best kit out there?

    I like the manual i drove a auto and it seemed to be searching for gears with the manual i can really feel the vvt-i kick, but you don't get the push button start on the manual or the smart entry i love those features, I think you would like the auto I believe once the auto breaks in the trans wouldn't search as much
