    As what the title says. Pics would be nice. Compare it with the stock ride .Torn between the eibach and this. ( kings and fox needed to be serviced every couple of years reason I don’t want them. ). Thanks

    I like mine. I did the install myself. Took me a little while to get use to it being level. The ride is a little stiffer but not enough to really notice. Top is after, bottom is before. I also have 265/75r16 tires in the after picture.

    Beautiful, exactly what I'm looking at but DC

    How much/in what ways does it being level affect things?

    It’s a 2” lift in the front and 1” in the rear.

    What was the final cost of (kit) parts, since you did it yourself.

    It was around $1300. If I had it to do over I wouldn’t have bought the new grille sensor. The whole thing is high priced, but I won’t have to argue over warranty stuff because of the lift.

    Thanks.
    And that's the "candy" No argument over warranty.
    Given that, they could almost charge what they wanted, and people will bite the hook.
    The grille sensor? Could you have used the already installed sensor, and just relocated it down 2"?

    I put the sensor out of the stock grille in the new grille which moves it down about 2 inches. So far everything seems to be working the way it was before. If you use the new sensor your supposed to take it in and have it setup. They told me 3 hours labor for that. As of now you have the option of not buying the sensor. I’ve heard they are making the whole kit one part number in April so it will automatically be included.

    Was the sensor a direct bolt in to the new grill?

    Thanks

    I am debating on whether to get the kit with the "Pro" grille or not. I like my stock grill, but, if i raise it the 2 inches with this kit, will my sensor still work? or do i have to install the "Pro" grille to lower the sensor?

    Thanks

    I’m not sure. The idea of the pro grille is that it lowers the sensor the 2” you raised the truck. You may be able to have the dealership recalibrate the sensor, but from what I was told that is a lot more expensive than changing the grille.

    Because I have money to burn lol jk. Kings and fox are performance shocks and needed to be rebuilt every couple of years . I just don’t like to deal with it. While this will last longer even though it’s disposable.

    This will definitely last more than 5 years but kings and fox need to be rebuilt way before that.

    They’re not performance shocks so they will definitely last longer. Just my opinion. Fox and kings need rebuild after 10-15t miles so ...... this will definitely last more than that . It’s my belief . My taco my money if I ever decide on it. Besides I like the cushy ride of the stock off road and I believe this rides similar .
