rear kings are a waste just get DR for the rear (99) and the kings up front. Once you get them you'll wonder why you didnt do it earlier. My donahoes were 1200 then I had the parts made to make them fit my lift but I still think it was some of my best money spent, people are amazed how I can take bumps. my buddy's will have open cups and Ill fly through a wash area and they'll all hold their drinks up not to spill and then you wont even feel it.

Take a break for a little while and save up for the coilovers. I've been screwin around wasting all my money on concerts, races, beer and trips to the lake the past couple of months and now all of yall have gotten your trucks looking so much nicer than mine, I'm jealous. I'm bout to put on a 3" body lift and 40's here in the next month or 2 though. Plus I need gears and control arms bad!!

I hear you about the lake Capt. I would get the 3" body, I just purchased 2" blocks, 2.5" spacer and a custom set of u-bolts. Donahoe rear shocks are only $99?

Does Fabtech even make the DirtLogics in the length we need for the rear? I believe we're using the biggest Bilstein 5150 that is produced.

i owuld never go with the ranchhand bumper over the Boondocks one i got coming in. Unless they had the bull nose ranchahdn for our truck which they dont.

Capt Morgan, you are about to do a 3" body...but your telling me to save for the Kings?? haha.

im really thinking about doing a 3 inch body lift, and the bilsteins up front for the extra weight of my front bumper.

In a few weeks i hsould also be making something lik 1000 bucks selling the factory stock front and rear bumper, maybe my fender flares (should i? and get bushwackerS?) and my wheels and tires, and my predator guard (anyone interested??)

this is hard.

also how much do you think new leaf packs in the rear for 2 more inches would cost???

i know so why you telling me to save for the kings?? haha.

but the installation of the 3 inch body is EXPENSIVE. thats why it may be hard to convince my parents.

oh wow i didnt think of this......my boondocks bumper uses factory install points of the factory front bumper....if i put a 3 inch body on....would this affect it? im wondering if it also mounts to the frame? hmmm.

think it would be cheaper or jsut as much to get new leaf packs and the bilsteins??

LMAO. . of course it mounts to the frame. Think about how heavy and bulky that thing is, what else could it mount to that wouldn't fall of the truck?
