Do you like the ride and handling with this setup? I also have the frpp kit installed and was considering doing the hotchkis leafs. Did this setup change your pinion angle much?

Pinion angle is still good. The ride was a little choppier so I got some So cal shock extenders and it's much better. I still have the Bilsteins and the shock travel was too little in the rear until I put the extenders on...

Thanks for the input. If I do it, I'll prolly install qa1's also. Your truck looks great.

I'm going the same route that leann is talking about.

RUSLOW coils in the front for 2" in my 2004. and doetsch tech drop shocks for the front.

For the rear the hotchkis leafs, belltech 2" shackles,
strange adjustables (shhorter alrdy so don't need the extenders)

I hear I can jsut flip the stock shims around and I should be good. that and a front alignment bolt kit to have it aligned.
