    Yep Chevy, they use nice strong steel. You would think the Japanese would know something about strong steel, they do make good swords.

    Absolutely upgrade your shocks while you're at it, no reason not to.

    There's always a good excuse to upgrade just make sure to, "do it right" - Mike Holmes

    EDIT:
    Ok, i cant get the links to work. but the site is sd truck springs. youll have to replace the **** with sd truck springs (no spaces)
    how do I get the links in a post?

    The only other time I've seen a website get censored is because they were banned from TW, which means they are not a good company.
    Just my 2 cents

    thanks

    They have two different types of springs...standard will give you about 3" worth of lift...the expo pack will give you about 4" of lift but allow for several hundred lbs to be in the bed and maintain ride height

    3" lift using Fox Shocks Coilover, Total Chaos UCA's. Running: Duratrac 285/70/17 Rear suspension just a 1" block for now. Will have custom rear springs no block. Fox w/ Resi.
    You could purchase Alcan Springs too. Do a google search. They can custom build springs. If you are interested in OEM springs I will be selling mine.

    Best of luck to you.
