Awesome. It looks great with the 32s, which I plan to keep until I need to replace them.

In looking at my options, would it be worth my time to consider the Rancho 7000mt's for 0-2" instead of the 5100 Bilsteins? I could save some $$$ with the current promotion. Thoughts?

that is what I have and they work well on the highway and on really rough stuff. Not so great on high speed washboard dirt roads. for this kind of stuff they work great.

Well, that was easier than I thought. The Rancho sale, plus a local vendor with a great price, netted me some RS90000XL shocks to go with my RK 1.5" springs. The install was fairly simple, and I came out with a drastically improved rake and lift. My Rancho 5000s were toast, so the ride is TONS better now, too.





This has me itching for larger tires, so I'll keep an eye out for deals.

I think it looks good just like it is.

I agree need bigger tires. mine has started sagging a bit so probably going to add 1/2-3/4" spacers to get original lift back.

what is your measurement from the level ground to the bottom of your fender flairs and from the center of the hubs to the bottom of the fender flares? thanks

So that is the RK 1.5" triple rate coils for the front and rear? I am thinking about going this route and was thinking it would be like the Teraflex performance leveling kit; the front coils are an inch taller than the rear.

Are people running the coils by themselves, as an entire kit, or pieced together setup? Just curious as I like the RK stuff.

I have run the TF performance 1.5" kit and lift was identical to my RK 1.5" triple rates but the TF did sag quicker in the back end. TF sent out spacers right away. Both ride very similar on the road and off. RK were actually a little cheaper because they don't include the front sway bar links that I threw out anyway.
