    Looking in to getting some coilovers and eventually LT. From what i understand, most coilovers don't fit on stock parts. Are there any that will? or any that need a quick swap, like an after market mount?

    You understand incorrectly.

    Your truck already has a coilover over on it. A coilover doesnt have to be a colorful $800 piece of equipment, its any shock surrounded by a coil spring as one single unit.

    Aftermarket coilovers fit if they're stock length. You can't use LT coilovers on stock suspension parts. No way, no how. They're much too long.

    But you can buy stock length coilovers and be all gravy. No modified mounts. No cutting. No welding. No modification of any kind. So when shopping for aftermarket coilovers, just make sure they are stock length or stock application.

    Only issue for you would be the fact you can't use your stock length coilovers for LT applications. So sell em when you upgrade and buy LT coilovers.
