    Yeah lift is on. Ride is good. Could be better with coil overs, but not in budget for that. If I did it again I’d have gone with bilsteins and add a leaf. Bilsteins were back ordered and I didn’t want to wait. Lol maybe down the road I’ll go with kings or icon. Not sure yet though.

    I went with a ready lift 3/2. Not off-roading as much as I’d like due to work, so went with something that has the look and can do mild off-roading getting to hunting areas and such.
