    It may be only on the "complete kit". If you give them a call, Marie is probably more than willing to help you out and answer some more questions too. She's the one that learnt half of us!!! :p

    Reconsidering here... I am not really in the position right now to spend a ton of money so now I am thinking of just doing a simple level instead. Im leaning towards 5100s up front with stock coils set on the highest notch (keep in mind I have a 185lbs steel bumper up front). This is a way cheaper option and gets rid of the sag I currently have. My question though, is preloading the stock coils this much bad in any way? I dont do any intense offroading, just the occasional moderate trail.

    Here's my setup. Bilstein 6112's on the front with 5160's on her rear with a 1" block. Upgraded my tires to 275/65/18 Toyo Open Country which gave me a lil more lift. Total lift' just over 3". Love it!image.jpg
