    Well. I guess its time to do some mods to the truck. I had recently got into an accident had the option to do some upgrades to the truck. One of which was an ARB bumper I picker up on sale. I got lucky and am getting a smoking deal on it instead of replacing the factory bumper and skip plate.

    Anyways, I've been thinking of doing a lift for awhile now and this accident is really getting the ball rolling! I was thinking about doing a Bilstein lift using the 5100 and potentially OME 884(?) coils. As for the rear I'm not to sure what to do. I go out to the rockies often and have a high rise cap and I also use my motorcycle carrier quite often. All that being said the end game is to raise the front by 2inches with the ARB on and a winch in the near future but still keep the factory rake so the nose doesn't stick in the air when I load my bikes up or haul a trailer.

    I've checked out what Bilstein has for struts and it looks like they have the 5100 for the rear but it says that it's only good for 1inch of lift. If I remember correctly the trucks stock have about a 2inch rake so that would mean I need to lift the rear 4 inches if I lift the front 2? Also if anyone has any other recommendations on coils and rear leaf options or where to get a set of just OME coils. I'm going through the Bilstein Canada site for the shocks.

    Thanks!
