    I am about to order my FB lift. Is it imperative that I order front struts and/or rear shocks? I believe that the FB lift comes with pro comp rear shocks. Should I go ahead and order some struts for the front? Any advice please.

    You can run stock shocks (Which I currently am) but you could always pick up some bilstiens for some added stiffness and not having to take your front apart twice.

    I got 4600s all around on my 5Lug. Definitely stiffer, but I no longer bottom out all the time when I'm off-roading. The stock blacks were too soft after the lift, especially in the back with the aal.
