    If you will be doing it yourself basically then, why not build your own coilovers from non oe? At $650-$700 you could find some for sale that have been mildly used and basically rebuild then build them out to fit our trucks.

    That's what I did. Cost me about $600-$650 to retrofit both sides to fit the truck and I get the most travel out of the suspension if I remember correctly.
