    So I'm about to pull the trigger on these springs, anybody have experience with them? I like the company and I will be able to get rid of my damn blocks in the back.

    My biggest concern is the rear being too lifted when there's no canopy or weight in the back and it looking off.

    Also I have some KYB Gas-adjust shocks in the rear right now (not sure how old). What would be a proper shock for the 3inch lift?

    Thanks in advance

    Expo’s with billies. I’m very happy with the expos, they handle extra weight great, but are still pretty flexy unloaded. Get yourself the ubolt flip kit while you’re at it. I’m not exactly sure about the shock length, as I bought the kit with them included1A9EAD4B-83C4-46B0-BA4E-09E90CBD75A2.jpg

    So I already have an extended U bolt from my understanding, what would be the benefit of getting the flip kit?

    I have been running them for 5yrs or so now. I pulled 2leafs out and just recently added them back to the driver's side. I ran them with Bilstein 5100s and now with Bilstein 7100 12" shortbodies. I've been happy with them, pulling leafs out made them ride nice ad I don't have weight in the bed 95% of the time.

    7100s. They are pretty expensive though and you will have to do a ubolt flip and make new upper mounts if you want them to work right. Easy of you can weld, or know someone who can.

    Bottom and one in the middle. It's the one without the clamps on it. Worked well. Just put 2 back in on the driver's side to get rid of the taco lean and to compensate for my fat ass.
