    So I’m looking for some guidance on my front suspension, can you eliminate preloading a king shock with a taller spring? Currently have 14” 550 springs on the front, I need to make the step up to 600lb springs so can I get the 16” and not preload it or just stick with 14” 600lb? My rear set up...

    I have demello off-road on mine. 0 or 25 degree isn’t going to matter a great deal just as long as you have them on the truck. It’s what I hit on mostly on the trail. There is a thread on here about the different slider options out there just search for it and it will help you out

    Welcome to the group! If you plan on hitting the trails I would suggest putting sliders at the top of your priority list and just figure out what you need from there, the more you ride the more you learn and you will see what you need along the way.

    The RCLT does look nice but at the same time I want to see what they price it at. If I can keep from going any form of long travel to keep the truck from sitting wide, a lot of the trails we ride around here are narrow as it is.

    You don't have to remove the sway bar to lift the truck. Some do, some don't. They are running 700 lb springs to make the front a little stiffer to make up for the fact that the sway bar isn't there.
