this might be a dumb question but was the shocks included in that price or just labor? plmk thanks

 

yes that was with the shocks, it all depends if you want to keep your good cv and ball joint angles.

 

Like he said, basically, if you do the BL, your CV angle will remain as is... if you do coilovers or bilsteins to raise the front up, it will increase the angle, which isn't terrible, but I personally would rather have stock or near-stock angles just to play it safe - especially if you're gonna be turning some 37's or larger on there.

P.S. Im about to get rid of my 3" level kit and do a lift, so my angles will be good... assuming my truck gets repaired at the dealership :/

 

i read many threads where people and doing a AS leveling kit with bilsteins and a suspension lift. what kind of problems am i gonna be looking at?

 

nothing really, just depends on how hard you plan to run your truck

 

I'd deffinatly do either coilovers, shocks or a spacer. I'm runng the 2.5" spacer with 37's and could fit 38's if I want. Suspension lift just looks alot cleaner; you don't see your chassis hanging down. Also price comparison is a bif difference. A BL and labor will cost the same as coilovers and you can do it yourself. I bought a set of used spacers for $75 and put them on myself.

 

i dont guess i understand? you are running a spacer on top of a lift? right? not just a spacer? did you regear? what too? plmk thanks

 

Not 100% sure but I think he stacked his spacers.

 

Yes, I have the 6" spacer that came with the lift plus the 2.5" spacer. My CV angles really are not all that bad. I've seen worse. I've never had any issues, but you may be better off getting the bilsteins rather then a spacer. Only reason I went that route was b/c I got the spacer and add-a-leaf for $150 used and I don't offroad my truck.
