Truck looks amazing with the new springs. Exactly the same stance I want when I get the lift

Thanks P2 that means a lot coming from you! Your truck is one of mines idols haha I would recommend doing the swap I really didnt even feel a change in the ride quality at all either

In that case we need to have a serious discussion about wheel choice....

J/K, I am going to be looking for a set for sure. I think those springs an a shackle flip to replace the block would be the best route...

My wheels? haha I just left my block I thiught about maybe doing a 3 inch block but I really like the height right now so I am leaving it. What exactly is a shackle flip?

What about them? haha I would like to get some like Solid94s when I can get a chance. I have always liked them mine are just temporary for now! That shackle flip seems pretty interesting I will have to look into that in the near future.... After new wheels of course

This is me pulling out my friend and his NBS. He was stuck in some beach sand and we had to tie a bunch of straps together to get him out because it was so soft

Thanks bro! They are about twice as heavy man now standing on my rear bumper the truck doesnt even move! I cant wait to tow with them. I thought about dropping to a three inch block but I love the way it looks now so it is staying with the four inch block! I know I need 315s bad now! They will complete it!

Ik watch mean my truck used to squat so easily it wasn't even funny now it actually feels solid back there. I love my new stance in the rear now if I could just find a way to get the front end up there

Hell yeah man the back actually feels like a truck to me now! I will see how it tows on Saturday when I do a yard haha Maybe save up and order a four inch lift and sell the block or give it to your friend? How much height did you get out back?
