    True...I just don't want to mess around with the axle shims since they're a bit more work to get out.

    I went back and read the details of the assembly option. It comes with a whole new top (bushings, washers, mounts, and isolators) so I don't have to worry about buying them separately and installing myself.

    Update time.....dropped down to the 2nd notch and things are looking much better. I am just about to leave for an alignment so I'll try to get some pictures when I get back.

    At the tire shop...it'll have to do for now. Happy with the stance now.

    Thanks. Gonna order these and install with standard length 5100s to see how close I get. Plan to order extended length in a few months. No hardcore offroading planned

    You won't get close at all with standard length shocks..they will be WAY short....I almost use all down travel of the extended shock

    Buy shock extenders for like $20. Gets you most of the droop which you don't really care about since you don't froad.

    Looked at those. I go on fire roads and exploring when I can about once a month. They should be fine for a bit?

    They'll be fine forever really or as long as your shock lives. I've had them on my truck for over four years I think. My truck gets wheeled, sometimes very hard.

    He is talking about the other direction :)

    I'm gonna order some. Yes I know but I've read elsewhere custom bump stops were necessary as well.

    Yes they are. Tibrens, super bumps, daystar isolators, etc. Choose how much you want to spend and pick.

    Yeah that will be fine for that

    I'd love to have king resis in the back....but these bilstein shocks should do just fine
