Tuff country are pretty good. Do you do alot of hauling and towing? or is it more of a commuter? That needs to be takin into account before you decide as well. There always bilsteins if you want top shelf. Good Luck,

I put the bilstein 5100's on my truck when i did the Kore leveling kit and the ride is much nicer and more controlled.

I have put Edelbrocks on, they worked pretty good, then went with the bilstein 5100's when going to 2.5" of front lift. They work awesome until you blow one beating on it... I dont think they hold up well for the abuse my truck gets. Needless to say, I need new fronts again...

its easy... I ordered another set of bilstiens for my truck, longer ones so I can do the kore spring install. With that said, I will have a set of skyjacker 2.5" coils for sale soon.
