    2" Lift, Eibach Stage 1 front and rear, Icon Add-a-Leaf 275/70/16 All-Terrain T/A KO2s, Black Fuel Rims Custom front grill and headlights. Touch screen stereo system. 6 foot bed with a custom bed frame for overlanding.
    Hey all, figured I'd post here as I did a lot of creeping before making my decision on the new suspension and lift.

    I live in Alberta Canada and most of my driving these days is city Uber soccer dad, highways to the ski hill and backroads camping a couple times a year. I love the look of the lift and wanted decent suspension for the times I do off road....and the roads here can get pretty bad anyways with all the freeze / thaw.

    I had the Bilstein 5100s front and rear before this, with a 2" lift....on the back end I just had a 1.5" spacer to raise it up. I was never all that happy with it and the rear shocks went on my after about 6 years so I wanted an upgrade.

    I decide to do Eibach Stage 1 front and rear and instead of the spacer in the back I went with an Icon add a leaf. I've only had it two weeks but so far I'm loving it, much smoother than the Bilstein setup. I'm heading up to Alaska shortly and will give it a real test....family, bikes, gear and some gravel roads up to the glaciers.

    Oh and the tires I'm running currently are the 10 ply BF Goody All Terrain KO2s, 275/70/18s. Honestly I'm not a big fan of these, too heavy and hard for this light truck but at the time I didn't have much choice. My next set will be rated for the truck (same size though as I like a bigger tire) which should soften up the ride even more.

    Just before I took off the Bilstein 5100s:
