    I prefer Wheelers Offroad but Headstrong is solid too.

    Why do you prefer wheelers?

    They're super helpful and ship fast. I also prefer to keep my money out of CA but seeing your location makes me think you dont care about that :)

    Ok so to follow up on this, here’s what I did

    [​IMG]

    So first I removed yellow and green. Sat low but was too soft.

    Then I put back in the yellow, and took out the black

    Right now I have green and black removed. Sits nice, very flexy, and still soft. I might change it again if it softens out more.

    That’s great , mine will be here tomorrow too. I can’t wait. Good luck with install, I have a guy from TW that’s going to do install for me. Are those rc10’s hanging in the wall? They look like fun

    Seems like sooner or later most people end up doing 3 degree shims. I suggest doing it during install which also may require center pin extensions. I have the same leaf packs and have a little vibration. heading toward shims myself after I rule out any tire issues.

    Good luck! its gonna be great!

    Don't do this vvv
    The best thing you can do is measure your driveline angles prior to lifting it so you have a reference point, post install, if you have vibes. So many people want to throw shims or CB drops into the mix when they dont even know what they're solving for. If you take the correct approach and do math camp, solving for vibes is relatively straightforward.

    I had good luck with the 3 degree shims and no CB drop on my access cab.

    Be careful of the brake lines when removing and installing the packs. Take your time and lube everything up well.

    They're long enough but a lot of people upgrade them to SS and few inches longer for piece of mind, myself included.

    I did also get a relentless Ubolt flip kit and new wheelers super bumps for front and the back along with new top hat bushings and rubbers but didn’t think about the break lines. I suppose ordering up some 3dgree shims would be good to have on hand for if needed

    Sure if you want to spend $$ you potentially dont have to.

    Hope your alignment bolts aren't seized. What a pain in the ass those are.

    This may be a dumb question but would there be any benefits leaving the sway bar off for awhile to see how the ride is with the stiffer 90000/886 up front? No liability question haha
