Suggestions

Hey guys,

I just had a Rize 8" inch suspension lift, 20" Moto Metal 950s, and 37x13.50X20 Nitto Mud Grapplers put on my 2006 FX4 Screw.

What I was looking at also getting was an add-a-leaf put on, I was looking at getting a 2" inch Daystar and also some Billstein 5100s shocks all around.

I haven't made up my mind yet, but my goal is to have my truck sit level, if it happens to sit a little high in the *** end I can live with it, but I definately want a better ride. Don't get me wrong the Rize kit feels DAMN good, but little extra never anyone and besides I got some cheap *** shocks that came with the kit.

So if any of you guys have any suggestions from personal experience, don't hesitate to let me know, thanks.

You don't need the daystar spacer because the 5100's will bring it up 2". There is a setting on them for that.

I agree.
Also, you gotta get us some pics of your truck! It sounds sweet.

Just get the 5100's and screw the daystar... Ive got the 5100's and the ride is good. FYI though the AAL will stiffen up the rear a bit. Im also not sure what "cheap *** shocks came with the kit" unless you got jipped. It reuses stock up front, and outback you should have some bilsteins either 5150 or 5125.

If you want the smoothest ride possible go with king coilovers and some deaver leaf packs out back, this is definately not a cheap route though. I have the deavers with bilstein 5125's outback and its smoother than butter, my hope is with the kings and a front end overhaul ill get the same result up front.

Guys,

I was reading what you guys posted and another concern I have right now is that my truck currently sits a little low in the rear end. Will the 5100s fix this and level the truck out?

Hopefully all I need to do to get the truck level and riding damn smooth is get some
5100s all around, then that would be great.

FX4life, I've looked at King before and although I have heard that their products are top of the line, they are just a little too much cash money for me. As far as what I meant by the cheap shocks, yeah they are stock in the front, but the rear, well honestly they were not the choice I want.

You can raise the rear with an Add-A-Leaf.

the 5100's wont bring up the rear at all. if you go with the 5100's up front (assuming you crank them the 2")you will need a 4" aal to sit dead level. Check out TexanAviator's truck if you want to see this exact setup, it also used to be FX4reaction's setup. both had 38's though, not 37's
