    yeah my stock setup has drooped 1" i think...they said i'm supposed to have a 1" rake front to back buy mine is over 2" taller in the rear than the front....when they do droop you can adjust the coilovers to make up for the difference since you have the adjustment on them

    King 10" coilovers w/ resi. 3.5" over long travel kit. Factory spindles w/ ALLPRO gussets. Total Chaos tower gussets. Energy Poly cab mounts and steering rack mounts. Glassworks fenders and bedsides. Home fabbed bed cage. King 2.5x16 bypass shocks in the rear. DMZ long travel rear end. Race radio (2meter). Removed secondary carbon air filter. Exhaust dumped before the axle / no muffler. Phram fresh air cabin filter. K&N replacement filter, After market stereo, Grillcraft grill, custom fabled roof rack with 7" HID's, PRP race seats.

    Yeah the stock springs droop. Nothing to do with the billy shock. All the more reason to invest in a new higher rate spring designed to accomodate the added force needed for lifting. The stock springs are soft, a 590 I believe. Usually a 600 rate spring or higher is appropriate for lifting. Again I never experienced any spring sag until I lifted to 2.5". 1.75" inches of lift will not yield hardly any sag. Simply depends on whether you want to lift higher than necessary to level the truck.

    As far as billy's go they are very high quality and German made if I'm not mistaken (happens from time to time : )) My billy's never leaked oil and worked flawlessly. So if you're not an offroad enthusiast but simply want a daily driver and some occasional trail riding, Billy Billy Billy for the price and quality.

    Icons are still amazing though! haha
