    Doesnt change the factory geometry of the suspension.

    No need for aftermarket UCA's

    Lift is gained for a pretty decent price

    You can then add coilovers with no preload for a plush ride

    Looks dope af

    I'd say the biggest is 4" of lift without messing with the suspension geometry which mean you can do it without changing your stock struts or uca's. Then there's the cost, you can have a 4" lift for well under a grand.
    You can also expand the lift later to potentially have 5", 6" or 7" if you choose

    Yes I have the wheel spacers and that sounds good. I don't mind getting dirty at all as long as I'm not just messing the truck up haha. How do I find out if I need the extra parts and where can I order them from?

    When you're ready to order your spindles, blocks & U bolts call Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road , she'll get you set up & can include the carrier bearing drop. The driveshaft spacer you'll have to order from 4-crawler.com. I'd say go with the 65mm x 65mm x 10mm because there's 2 different bolt patterns & it can be hard to measure what you have. The 65mm will work with either one.
    http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/ForSale/DriveshaftSpacer.shtml
    @White Horse originally lifted his rear 4" & needed a .75" spacer so it's possible you'll need a .75"-1" spacer. It's really hard to say how much spacer you'll need until it's lifted.
    Do you have any lift on the rear right now? I can't remember. If so you could possibly need more spacer than that.
    @White Horse did about 6.5 & 4 in the rear & had some bro lean until he added an aal.

    Haha that's cool! :thumbsup:
    Is he on here? Chad can't help cause he's lives in TX.

    What a long ass day ! Tackled this install on my own. Took about 10 hours. I have no mechanical skills. Brakes took a while. Had to cut some of the bracket. Was left with a bunch of left over washers and those rubber hose clamps. Not sure where they go. Had to drive home about 80 miles without an alignment. It's sketchy. Seems solid though. I do get the occasional loud clunk when make a hard turn. Sounds like coil moving/ setting ? 5100 @ .85
    Bro LEANNNN hard for now lol

    Check before. Any small adjustment could throw off the alignment.

    Is thw clunk only when your turning or when you come to a stop?

    Check your upper ball joint and do a once over. Also make sure you flipped the racket pinion to point down and not facing up like it was on the stock spindle.

    When I removed the coil / shock using a jack on lca, i only had to remove the center nut from the top. Didn't have to touch the 3 others. Does that have anything to do with the way the coil sits ?

    Top plate stayed in when I pulled shock assembly off, adjusted billies, then jacked up LCA with lower shock mounted and when thread maxed out on top plate tower, I reinstalled the nut, bushing, washer.

    Just got the alignment done and it's driving 100% better. I'll trying to replicate the clunk, to see when exactly it does it. I could look over everything before alignment b/c it's pouring here and I need to be able to drive to work in a few hours

    Sometimes when they align it they won't tighten the cam tabs enough and that could cause a noise
