Coil overs....
Alright guys... im going to be purchasing a ton of parts for the pickup in the next few wroks... try and get all the mechanics of this truck purchased and ready to roll! Coil overs....how to I pick? I know my truck is around 4500 pounds.. but that being said.. the rear of the truck isn't that, do I rate the shocks for something lower?
I really like these..

Perfect to finish up the rear of my truck, but how do I know if itll work? not strong enough... to stiff.... im worried on buying 600$ worth of parts and it not being good at all....

That should get you started. I'm hoping to eventually swap to coilovers and a 4-link with a watts link in the rear. KP Components makes kits for our trucks for those.
