well if i throw on the TF 2.5" coil with only what it comes with, is that gonna mess anything up?

Rancho 4" sport with RS9000XL adjustable shocks is great for a DD. No ride degradation. I have it and love it!

Plus they are offering a $500 rebate right now.

Are your rear coils sagging at all?

Hmmm, not sure how to answer that. I got more than the advertized lift from the coils. Maybe you are asking if they look bent or something? No they look pretty straight. Does this pic help?

OME hd kit from Northridge, you can't beat the ride. Its better than stock, and it is a pretty much a complete kit that allows for a few changes depending on your preferences.

I have the same, there has been no change in the ride. The clearance is great. I was easy to install.

OME HD Package from Dave at NorthRidge, I know a couple more have posted this same response but I could't be happier with my choice. I took over 4 months deciding which lift to go with and I definitely feel as though for the money, I made the right choice. I put it on with a buddy of mine in 3 hours with very little trouble and taking our time. Dave is excellent with the information, the ride is absolutely better than stock and it looks SWEET! You net somewhere between 2.75" and 3" with the lift . . . . well i did. Good luck with your decision

i went with 4 inch super lift and 35 km2s on 09 2dr six speed within a week had to get tf upper rear adjustables(northridge best price) after a week with pinion angles in rear way off this helped greatly but still need at least for dd rear drive shaft and when changed pinion angle now rear springs bow and i am considering haveing to move spring perches but will wait till cv driveline is replaced just remoember for what im learning move one thing in a lift over 3inches and it will affect what seems like at least two other components. just some thing to rember what i keep telling my self (and my wife) shell be pretty BA when im done (never)

This will keep your handling from being "flighty". The springs and shocks were designed and tested for a great ride.
