Congrats! I didn't even know they made the xfactor in a 2.5". I run the 3.5" and love it. While a lot of people don't feel the need to have a full supsension system for 2.5", I think it is great to have so you don't have to deal with a lot of the issues people do end up having and then piecing together components to try and fix it.

Completely agree with you. 3.5" X Factor plus with the 2.5" coils. This set up performs amazingly!

Your shocks are fine RK lifts have more droup in them then most other an you actually need longer shocks in the front. If you get 2-2.5 for the front even with bump stops you will more likely over extend the shock an it will fail.
