    Good morning guys I am looking for a good upgrade that's not crazy expensive. I'm only using my truck for light offroading for when I go fishing , mountain biking... Camping.. and street travel mostly. I wanted to upgrade the current suspension so it rides smooth. I have a 2 inch block in the back already I'm going to add aleaf instead now. And a spacer on the strut in the front. I wanna maybe go coilovers or any other option so it's not as stiff in the front. Any recommendations? I might even need new UCAs . I really don't wanna break the bank. But do want something that will last. Maybe bilstien ? Anyone know of rough country? Or how rancho quicklifts are? Any advice helps thank u

    Bilsteins are a good/less expensive choice. If you're a DC add 885's for 2.5"s or 887's for closer to 3"s lift. You will need UCA'S for both setups or your cams will be maxed out and your camber less than desired. Headstrong Off-road will set you straight on what you want with good prices.

    Most people go billies or old man emu for a simple inexpensive set up. Ditch the blocks and throw in some dakars and you'll be in under 2k. That's for either option btw

    So I'm deciding on tough country UCAs and addaleaf for the rear. I'm set on the billies 5100 but I have one question. Can I use the factory coil with these shocks and still achieve a 2.5 inch lift since they are adjustable? I see they sell them for 345 all four but it jumps to 800 with the coil installed?
