    to be honest no more than 3-4k pounds towing a 23 foot boat & RZR. loading a stand up jetski & Dirtbike in the truck bed. My old man bought a new body duramax SLT in 07 it has 78k miles on it now lol..... so if i ever need to worry about weight i go to the dmax. i came from my 1500 to this for a reason i just needed something with a bed that road and got the gas mileage of a car and was not at all down to test that new diesel colorado in its first year.

    I run Maxtrac 4" spindles and Dakar leaf packs.

    Going to add some fancy coilovers later this year.

    Extremely happy with my lift/stance

    I also have 2016 TRD OR shocks and coils that gave me an extra inch up front for a total of 5" front and 3" rear lift

    I hear that!!!

    They gave me the full 3"

    I really haul loads that often really.

    But I feel like they made my truck 'better'

    They ride nice and flex even better.

    But with all this said and done i do have one issue with my rear end that i want resolved and i dont have an answer for. i feel like those 2.5 kings i addded gave me alot more travel but it does feel like the stock bump shocks are almost to tall in the rear not letting the shock get into full stroke any cheap fixes on that? really dont want to do a damn hydraulic bump on a daily driver thats not even long traveled lol

    yeah different strokes for different folks. if i went with your style build that would be my answer but this whole thread i probably should have mentioned why i wanted to keep it lower and all these other factors people probably would have been less aggravated..... MY BAD <3

    This should have been your first post in that shackle thread instead of what you originally wrote. Context, details and explanations go a long way for credibility, especially when relaying information from others.

    hey man i just wanted to ideas on a smoother ass and opinions on what i was told, lol. i think the show has came to an end sadly. except the part when i still need to find some bold on bump stop replacements that allow my kings to use its full stroke it feels like it hits bump right before 3/4 of compressing.

    Gotcha, I understand. And it's all good. I figured it was easier to lay out some stuff rather than just shout :p
