    Perhaps? You will ride on the bumps or be close to it if you aren't lifted though

    Would anyone here that possesses the skills and knowledge be willing to help me install new dakar leaf packs, new UCAs, new front coils, and front top plate spacer. I'm a total noob when it comes to this stuff, I'd take my truck back to green tree to have it done but I really don't feel like coughing up another $600 just for install when I know that money could go towards other truck parts. I'll compensate you for the labor but just not $90 an hour like green tree charges lol

    Depends on when you plan on doing it. If you have your new struts already built and all the parts ,it's a fairly easy process

    Hydraulic lifts help out tremendously if you have access to them

    Probably within the next month or so, then again that doesn't totally narrow it down time frame wise. I'd have to find some time to go without my truck for a couple of days. And still gotta order it, damn shipping costs to ak suck. And are you talking about already having my new coils assembled with the front shocks? Because I'm just changing my 884 coils to an 886 and then adding the 3/4" top plate spacers. I'll probably take it on base and put it up on a lift

    New coils and stock shocks correct? I would have someone build them for you, I built one of mine on base and almost died when a weld on the spring compressor broke and almost launched everything

    I've already got Old Man Emu shocks and a rear AAL, I'll be putting the new coils on those shocks along with the top plate spacer. And damn that's pretty scary, did you end up building both of them there?

    Hmm maybe Ill take it into the shop on base and then take the shocks off to be assembled elsewhere and then bring em on back and then install them to spare the risk of life lol, you installed your UCAs there too I thought I saw right?

    Nice man, I'm thinking either Icon or Light Racing, I know Icon costs more and looks sexier and I mean its Icon but then again LR is cheaper so I'm kinda torn between the two, and also I might add Timbren Bumpstops
