    They are cheap, why not just do them to be safe?

    A lift, some wheels, some tires, some performance, some cosmetic and then audio.
    Still debating on a 4 pack or 5 pack. Read so many post about 4 pack still giving axle warp and I know if I get the 5 pack I would have to set the SAW up higher to match. More preload = stiffer ride. Right now the stock leafs (of course sagged) and my SAW leveled to that rides pretty good but dont have anything to compare but stock ride. With the lift comes the chance of premature wear on CV maybe ball joints but not sure if the height of the SAW matched to the 5 pack will be past 2" over stock or not will pose to much problems. I mean 3" is max on IFS.

    After much pondering, reading and research...I think I am gonna jump on some new Kings coilovers with Wheelers 5-pack and 5125's in the rear. Hope I am not making a mistake caused truck is Impulse Red with blue Kings.

    that sounds like a sick set-up. im sure they will look fine. patriotic almost. I was worried my yellow OME shocks would look stupid with my red taco. like ketchup and mustard. but it isn't even noticeable.

    whats the price on that whole setup?

    Sounds like a solid setup.

    You wont even be able to see the kings unless you look into the fender wells....and they are eye candy anyways. :drool:

    Love the look of the wheels but I would recommend checking runout before you mount tires. I am replacing two of mine.

    No. I didn't think to check runout when I got them. Had a nagging vibration problem and finally checked them. I'll try to true them and use one for my spare tire.
