    That's a little bit of an upgrade from readylift. No need to disconnect the LCA, just the front stabilizer link assembly and sway bar to slide them in.

    I think you want 8-12 threads showing. Also you can adjust on the truck. Need to let it fully droop and buy a T-handle

    Thanks, from what I've been reading that's about right. Will start with 10 and go from there.

    I really don't think you'll need to. I had my uppers off but that's because I swapped out the uppers. What uppers are you going to run?

    Can check out Light Racing UCA.

    Marie cna probably help you out @HeadStrong Off-Road

    For install, just pop the balljoint and move the UCA and swaybar

    not really, it had already settled about 1/4" from intial install at the time i took this picture. i have lowered it about two turns (approximately 1/2") since then. Rides a bit smoother, and my shock doesn't feel like it's bottoming out on large driveways / speed bumps anymore.

    i have about 9-10 threads showing now and am getting about 2-2.25" of lift. I also just added icon UCAs and made a big improvement on the way it drives on the freeway

    Perfect, I have mine set at 10 passenger and 11 driver before I install. Hopefully will be about 2.25-2.5.

    Let us know, I'm curious to see how those 600#ers are. I have 700's but have bumper winch skids, rock sliders, etc etc
