What's to stop me from using my stock shocks with an AAL and new coils? Are they too short, bottom out?

 

They may be, I've not really heard of people doing that.

 

I guess my logic is, why replace shocks that have less than 15k miles on them unless they are too short.

 

You can take the rear off easy enough and measure

 

Good deal, what maintenance comes with lifting your truck (truck and lift Parts)?

 

Depending on use, recheck Suspension bolts. After while may have CV boot issues

 

alignment, if you jack it up too high you will need UCAs, which are rather pricey. I'm out of alignment right now without new UCAs but that's because I went almost 4" in the front which is why I am going down a bit with the 5100s so I can align again without needing new UCAs.

 

I hoping to do just enough to put 285's on, so hopefully I can bypass UCA's and what not.

 

285's get into mild cab chop sometimes too

 

I have a 3" lift and 285s. I had to chop a little. Stock UCAs

 

I used the 5100s at the 2.5 setting, and had enough to fit 285s, with stock UCAs. Had to get spidertrax too though.

 

She was beautiful

 

Yea I had already planned on getting spacers whether I needed them or not. Just like the way they look

 

I assume this means that some trimming will be required?

 

Yup. Cutting truck is fun

 

So has anyone set a time/ date and location for the mod day or did I miss it

 

Every case is different. Depends on tires, wheels, and alignment.

 

Just ordered a snorkel

 

Next week sometime might try to help another member down in Wilm put his Billys on the front if you want to come down
