    Based on personal experience of customer service and overall experience with site vendors, who is the best to purchase a suspension from?

    I would basically like to describe to a vendor what my current setup is (i.e. steel bumpers), explain my intended uses for the truck and suspension, set a price range and be talked through the comparative details of the kits and pros and cons of each. The hundreds of posts in suspension threads give a good idea of what I can expect a lift to look like but I am still searching for information on ride quality, intended uses, and spring rates. I see this is an important, and expensive investment and would like the guidance of someone far more knowledgeable than me to offer advice. I would like to use a TW vendor because I appreciate what they all do for the site and community.

    Who are your recommended vendors?

    Offroad warehouse is a great vendor. I ordered fox DSC coilovers, shocks, and fox bumpstops from them as well as UCAs, their customer service is great and shipping was relatively fast. If you have any questions, ask for John! He was helpful and very knowledgable when it came to getting a few things dialed in with my setup.

    Does Headstrong give you candy with your order?

    @HeadStrong Off-Road All day everyday... The only bad is that they just sell majority suspension parts for the 3rd gen.

    Minutes and Seonds of Pleasure with a professional hooker often outweighs the years and years of nagging of a wife ;)
