    So i have a second gen that has a lift front and rear thats starting to get tired and im thinking of upgrading it all.

    I curently run 265/70/17 duratracs and am about to switch to BFG's cause mine are worn and I can get a good deal on the BFG's. I have 5100s with eibach coils on the front, set at i believe the third from the top, its hard to tell when its all put together and i forgot what i did originally. Ive got 5100s on the back which have blown for the second time which is why im redoing it all anyway, with 1.5" 3 leaf AAL from wheelers. Never took the overload out and i dont really know what or why you would do that. Also have total chaos UCA and the diff drop.

    Right now the rear still sits a bit higher. Kinda factory rake looking but everything is higher.

    I got the truck with 70,000 km on it, put the lift on about 8 months after buying so probably put around 10k on it, and it now has 180,000 km.

    Its my daily driver and i off road it on the weekends a bit. Nothing crazy, mostly bumpy FSR's and cross ditches and stuff, but i like to drive them fastish so i need something half decent.

    I wanna ditch the billies and go with fox. I was looking at the 2.0 rears with piggyback resevoirs. Do i need to look at replacing my leaf pack at all? I dont know if or when you have to do that. Ive had blown shocks on the rear for a little while now so it doesnt feel great. Can you buy leaf packs that lift and just ditch the AAL altogether? The front i havent super looked into yet because it would be down the road a bit more as they are more exspensive but will need to get done soon. Im thinking stick with the 2.0s but i dont know which one. I wanna keep the truck lifted. I dont ever tow or haul anything so im not opposed to getting rid of the rake i have now and making it level, but also dont mind leaving the rake.

    Also, when i originally did the lift, i thought it was going to turn out level. Thought i was doing 2-3 in the front and 1.5 in the rear. Can anyone point me to where i went wrong.

    Long post but theres so many options with these trucks and i get confused. Thanks in advance.
