    What's good everyone, I've been looking at lift options since I got my new truck and I've actually started to become more interested in the Bilstein 5100 kits a lot of people seem to be getting. Only thing is I don't wanna do a add-a-leaf of any kind I was looking for a kit with good shocks and UCAs and a leaf pack and I found a great one at @HeadStrong Off-Road. This is the link for it and I wanna know if anyone has experience with this specific kit? I'm thinking of getting the 888 coil selection and the heavy duty leaf pack for more lift in the rear. Also wanted to know which of the UCAs are the best option since they offer 3. Sorry for a kinda long post just really wanna learn more about the best option for me since I'm gonna be spending money on this and want a solid kit.

    You can't go wrong with this kit. It's the best bang for your buck. The heavy duty version of the Dakars is the better route to go IMHO. I have the older version (CS047R) but with the pads and isolators. They're quiet as can be and stout to boot. As far as UCA's, the SPC LR's are a value buy. You get what you pay for in the sense that Total Chaos and Camburg perform better, but UCAs are so damn expensive. I couldn't justify it so I went with the SPC LR's. Loving this lift set up, got exactly what I wanted out of it.

    That is a popular kit and if you want to go over the various options just let me know. I sent you a PM right now on the differences of the uca's. :thumbsup:
