    Fat Bobs 2.75 lift and level with short AAL, 16x8 Level 8 Guardian Wheels, 245/75R16 Toyo Open Country ATII, custom trans shift kit(home made), Trans temp. and Vac gauge, URD fuel pump upgrade(going back to stock soon).
    I am not certain the qick strut is a quality gas strut. You can call the 1800 number and ask the tech support specialist.

    Maybe, depending on how shot your Blacks are. I had a very slight lift from it.

    You need a lift to fit the fox shocks in. The only real shocks people use with no lift is the Bilstein 4600 designed for our truck.

    Just installed the ready lift 2.75 front and upgraded to 4600 bilsteins, but the black plate that holds the bottom of the coil is hitting the UCA. Howd you guys make it clear without hitting.

    For the front they are way too long. In the rear if it's made for 0"-1" lift it can fit after an aal. The front is the pain as it's pretty much just the 4600.

    After an aal lift it's fox shocks meant for 6 lug with 0" - 1" of lift. Pretty much any 6 lug shock meant for 0" - 1" lift.

    Hey guys, sorry to revive this old thread but I have a quick question. Over the years my rear suspension has started to sag a bit. I have the Fat Bob’s 2.75/1.5 AAL that I installed back in 2014. Would rear Blistein 5100’s bring truck back to its “original” height or would I still see some sag? 71830941-099E-4C7E-86A7-E58407D71743.jpg
