    Were you able to determine whether or not we have 14'' springs?

    That's what she said.

    :eek:

    Thanks guys, it helps with ordering parts from here. I think I'm going to try 18'' 600 pound springs. Might have to get a spring compressor to get them on but I will have zero preload and I don't think they'll have the sagging issues the 16'' had (I have ditched the plate bumper and winch in favor of a tube bumper).

    I've got a question for everybody on the subject of long travel!
    My truck has 9000 on the dash... Is it too soon to set up a LT kit? haha

    A suspension upgrade is imminent, there is no way I am keeping this truck stock. I was planning on mid travel but my buddies are nudging me towards LT and I could just wait a little longer.

    I am just a little uneasy cutting holes into the stock bed! I've seen large shock hoops in the rear that dont cut into the bed, but there must be a down side to that, any pros and cons?
