    Been trying to mine information from this thread- so just to be clear: if I start with only the IFP coilovers, I can eventually rebuild with reservoirs/ adjusters?

    Yes but the quote for just parts I got was $624.18 plus shipping. Cheaper to buy a new set and sell the current ones.

    TC UCA's are headed off my truck ASAP, went with SPC as I want the better alignment. Might figure out a bushing lube solution. Thought of a grade 8 bolt with some after market holes in them and such. My truck sounds like I feel haha, creaking and popping at every move.

    I have the same with the bumper, winch skids and 700lb springs and I just want it to be 3/4" higher in the front.

    Last year they began using it selectively. All the California’s that moves here couldn’t drive so they cried until ODOT had to do something. It is only used a the primary roads and only on troubled spots.

    Wait until it snows in Downtown Portland and a 30 minute commute takes 6 hours. Lol

    I learned to drive in Buffalo NY so I know how to drive in snow, but may be out of practice. I think after the first week in it, it will be like riding a bike. My wife however a Asian female, well let’s just hope it works out lol.

    Oh it’s not you who would have the issues. It’s all the rear wheel drive sports cars with bald tires. In Oregon there is no minimum tread depth requirement. The cars get to a slight incline and can’t get up.

    I hear this a lot. I’m glad I didn’t jump on the uniball craze and stuck with my SPCs. They have been great and I’ve already upgraded the ball joints for $80.

    Timbrens all day, every day. Some of the best money I spent on my truck. Every truck is different, but they were a game-changer for me.

    My uniballs are silent so far and I’m the second owner of these Total Chaos UCA’s (have no idea how many miles are actually on them). Different strokes for different folks.

    Oh don’t get me wrong, I know they are fantastic. Just 8 out of 10 people I’ve read say they are noisy (probably not lubing often enough). They put them on race trucks so they must be good :thumbsup:

    I have been EXTREMELY happy with the DuroBumps. I literally don't even know they are there, the compression is so progressive and gentle.

    I got the fronts and medium height rears with u-bolt flip kits.

    I don't think you can go wrong with DuroBumps, timbrens or superbumps.

    Pretty sure there is a forum discount for DuroBumps, @Plastics Guy is associated.
