    I originally wanted to do a full suspension lift up to 2 inches, but doing it right the first time can get expensive. Also there is the issues maybe needing to replace the needle bearings, shims, etc. Mainly want the lift just for looks and improved ride. Considering the eibach stage 1 easily swapping out the old with the new and be done. Anyone go this route 0 lift upgrade and what did you upgrade with? I've got weight with skids, slider and a camper shell.

    I am planning on doing 6112/5160 at the 3/2 setting for less than an 1 inch of front lift/no rear lift. I don’t really want a big lift as the truck is my DD, mainly just want the better handling of the 6112/5160.

    I also haven’t decided if I am going to do the ECGS bushing. It seems like a 50/50 shot if you get vibes. Honestly it seems lift height doesn’t matter if you need to replace it. It so random.

    I've sold a few guys a Dobinsons upgrade but without really adding any lift. More like adding more support for added weight, like what you probably need in the rear.

    That has all the options, including stronger front coils, but close to stock height, or a slight lift as well. Then add a leaf options for the back (I think just 1.5" is what you'd need, and you wouldn't necessarily gain that much lift due to the added weight)
