I don't see why you/he just doesnt go with a kit. Do it once do it right. But in the same respect its your/his money

is there really a benefit of spending 500 bucks for the kit compared to the 100 one that we developed? i bet my lift on both of my trucks will have the same down the road quality ride... im personally a little mad that I didn't to this kind of lift to my 2001 dodge. i waisted 400 on mine for my 2001. seems to me besides the $100 shocks, the kit contains nothing more than what we came up with.

well you are using coil spacers. correct? I have completely new coils. my coils had seen better days with 160,000 miles on them. i mean its just what ever you wanna do, i am just giving you my opinion on what i would do it if was me

oh yea and i got new lower control arms. forgot to mention that.

yeah but coils in my opinion don't make it ride better than a spacer... and yeah the control arms help with flex which isn't needed for the lift he's wanting...

anyone know if shocks are needed or not?
