Lift Kit Requirements/Recommendations

Going to install Bilstein 6112/5160 with icon 3 leaf AAL soon and was wondering what else I would need for the lift. So far, it seems like the only other thing I would need is a front sway bar relocation kit and new top hats for the 6112?. Do I need longer brake lines for the rear or anything else?

 

I’ve run the Icon 3 leaf for 7 years with no extended brake lines, off-road with no issues

 

Did you keep the overload springs in? Can’t make up my mind yet. Don’t care so much about the extra 0.5” lift but heard it could help with stability. Don’t do any towing, but I do carry around 300 lbs or so of gear in the back when camping and on FSRs. Also, is it correct that anything above 2” lift in rear should get the diff drop? But with just 1.5” it’s not necessary?

 

1.5 lift in back you’ll be fine with no diff drop. I didn’t keep the overload springs in, I have a Leer canopy 200lbs approx and the truck feels fine on the highway at speed.

 

That’s exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you!
