    Have about 400lbs of skids and front bumper.
    Want to know if I should upgrade the shocks all around and add 700lb springs? And should I go with kings all around or use bilstein? What model number? I don't care it it lifts the truck. But if it does then I'd want it to be level all around. Thanks guys.

    I think upgrading would be a good idea. Kings vs Bilstein though is a big jump in price. What's your budget?

    A cheaper choice could be the OME kit running the 886 coils; they area 660 lb spring rate.

    I'm looking at the group buy for the kings. But from what I'm reading the bilstein should do the trick and heavier springs over factory. Just a little over 2500.00 for kings, man I can a lot of extra stuff with the savings.

    That's usually the conclusion most people make. I would have got more $$ suspension if I had the funds, but I spent it elsewhere on tires, skid plate, and sliders.
