    Yeah I'll definitely go bigger next time, but probably not until these are done for lol. Moneys the biggest issue here. I just want a little higher look and don't want it to look bad with the tires on it.

    For somereason, and maybe its because i take my truck to the desert, but my left rear shock on driver side has a blown seal. These shocks are decent for city driving but idk about off roading. Do you have this problem?

    Get the bilstein shocks. They work alot better. For the rear shocks you can get them off of a prerunner or even a trd offroad.

    I dont understand why everyone is saying that the fat bobs kit is cheaper than the readylift sst. I was looking on there website and it says that the spacers alone are 229.95 and if you want rear shocks they are 63.95 long aal is 69.95 and u-bolts are 39.99. for a total of 403.84.

    Looks like the readylift spacer, I thought fat bobs was a solid piece of aluminum.

    It's recommended to get an alignment ASAP. I took mine from central Texas to new Mexico about an 11 hour trip and 11 hours back with no problem what so ever.
