    772CF8C3-1458-4E54-8133-5E949B16024E.jpg I’ve been running my current lift Bilstein 5100s x 4 with 888 ome springs up front and deaver AAL in rear. Sumo springs have replaced the oem bump stops in back also. I’m approaching 100k on the setup and there is absolutely nothing wrong with the ride or performance. It’s all held up very nicely as I expected it would from Bilstein. I’ve replaced my tie rod outers and inners and I’ve replaced my sway bar bushings and end links to overland custom forged heim joint links.
    The one thing I have noticed though is my lift has really settled in 100k miles(again kinda expected)and I’ve added weight with dual batteries under hood and a few other small things like leds dcdc charger that add up the weight.
    Lately I am getting the itch to do something and 6112s up front with new springs while I get my new tires installed next week is one option I’m heavily leaning toward. OR

    Replace my oem UCAs with JBA or SPCs to try and get my alignment back to spec.
    I mostly drive highways and interstate as I travel quite a bit and this is my daily driver. I also have a fridge in the rear and a softtopper along with a cooler and some of my kids sports equipment is always traveling. I do also go mild off reading no washboard roads no major crawling but I do climb some moderate hills and gravel roads in LBL with my son from time to time bc he’s 8 and he loves it. I’d say I’m 90% on road and 10% off road on average each year. I’ll post a pic of my last alignment I had done which was about a month ago and noticed they weren’t really able to get it in the “green” area besides toe and that was the main thing out of whack. I’m also running 255/80/17 Toyo AT3 current but due to lack of them in the USA currently I’m trying out a set of Nitto Ridge Grapplers in the same size. My truck is also KDMAX tuned. Sorry for the long winded post just trying to give as many helpful details to help make decision. Thanks in advance for any advice 3A9F02A9-A650-4CD7-B8BA-6270E9FBC43E.jpg868AB53B-4F46-463A-A078-92E09B7D549C.jpg few pics of the off roading I usually do
