Need advice.

well i got a huge bonus at work today for the amount of $1500-$1800 i know its in the range of that amount. i will be receiving it on the 15th. NOW..
ive always wanted Fabtech coilovers. what do you think i should do. these are the things im thinking about.

1. fabtech coilovers, with Fox 2.0 Pro Series 14" Travel w/Remote Reservoir rear shocks. and sell my 5150's
2. fabtech coilovers, black wheels. and sell my 954's
3. back wheels, wait to sell 954's and buy king coilovers.
4. King coilovers, and call it a day.

is there a huge gap between kings and fabtech's? THUMP help me out on this question, i think youve owned both.
what should i do?

can also someone tell me if this is the correct part number for the fox rear shocks for my truck. 980-99-035-A

you forgot option 5. Give it to Impact9

I dunno I like your wheels on your truck. I'd probably buy the fabtech coil overs, keep the rear 5150's and keep the wheels and buy some UCA's.

IF it was me.......

1. i wouldnt get rid of the rims on the truck now. they look great. black rims can get old, but a nice chrome rim will always look good.

2. i would go with the king coilovers. i dont really know what the difference between the fabtechs and the kings are on these trucks. but i have run kings on a sand rail and they are AMAZING! maybe thump will chime in to give first hand experience on these trucks.

whatever you do, its your truck. do what will make you happy.

I'd run the Kings and save up for the rears. The Bilstein 5150s are a good shock so you'll have something more than good enough to hold you over.

im thinking kings alone are gonna be around 1400-1500 arnt they? and i know the rears are another 500-600..

i think im just gonna order fabtech's, keep my 5150's, and order new leather seat covers. and... that will leave me with about $600 what else should i get?

If you do the Fabtechs, get the rear Dirt Logics as well, maybe Camburg UCAs?
