    DS B4 springs 2.jpg DS after springs 2.jpg Not a lift, but a refreshed suspension. I replaced the original coils, leafs and shocks with General Spring HD leafs and SuspensionLifts pre assembled Bilstein 4600's and factory height coils. OMG, I can't believe how much better it rides and corners. I was a bit concerned about the HD leafs being too hard/rough, but I think the old suspension was so bad that anything was going to be an improvement.

    Same here, not a lift but a full suspension rebuild. Bilstein 4600's, 1/2 inch spacer in the front, ALL new suspension front to back installed with as much OEM is I could get. I love the way it handles on and off road. Spent way too much money on it, but its all good.



    Before and after.

    Mostly cosmetic but she ain’t stock(looking) anymore.
    Looks great man, exactly what I was thinking for mine up front. What kind leaf pack for the rear and what size tire you running?

    Thanks @TacoLolo. Stock 31X10.5 tires. I went with the stock replacement leafs from Rock Auto. I researched lifting it, but in the end, anything I did would be an upgrade. Everything was worn out on this truck. Ive had it since 2002, and most of the suspension was original, besides the normal maintainance items. I bought the 1/2 leveling kit because I wanted a little more up front but I didnt want the front higher than the rear. It worked out IMO, I think it sits nice.
