    Never enough
    I have a double cab though so they would sit a bit lower than they did for you. Honestly I need someone to sit down with me and explain suspension basics to me. No matter how many threads I've read on here and elsewhere online I still can't figure out how to determine the collapsed and extended lengths needed to optimize a particular setup. And that's just one of the many things which I know that I don't know anything about...

    You should be alright with them on a DC. I assume you are not looking for max travel bUT good travel with a good shock. That ICON should do the trick.

    Hey Rebecca.:oops: Do you have an elocker in your truck?? If I did all the work would you want to swap axles? if not I can still do my idea. Andy and I was just talking and I am just curios. :fingerscrossed:

    After I have all the parts and the axle its self is geared and rebuilt I'm planning on the conversion to take no longer then 4-5 days.
