    Hey everyone,

    So currently i'm running Fox 2.5 Ext Res Non extended travel with standard 600 ibs springs and 2.0 rear Foxs with stock leafs and control arms. I want to increase my ride height, and the 170 ibs bumper with a 9k ibs winch hasn't helped. I also plan on adding a 4xInnovations rear bumper /w tire carrier and a Tepui RTT soon. My plan is:

    • Coilover Rebuild, aka removing the spacer to make them extended travel, and adding 650 ibs springs, crank them to 2.5". I haven't seen any info on this, even on websites like Pirate 4x4, so i'm planning on just shipping them to Fox
    • Camburg Upper Uniball
    • Wheelers 6 leaf pack
    • Some sort of drop shackle for 1" (any brand advise would be awesome)

    The goal is with all the armor, to have 2.5" in the front and 1.5" to 2" in the rear. I off road... A LOT, so everything that goes onto the truck needs to have off road advantages. I was going to go with an 8 leaf pack in the rear, but was scared I wouldn't have the flex I do now. Also, all the SAS'd front builds have shackles in the rear because it seems like they'd have so much flex they rub.

    Any advise would be awesome. I plan on adding hydrolic bumps as well, and eventually grab some lower control arms.
