It has been 6 weeks and no failures or changes in ride quality. Stock upper shock mounts still look "stock"...

Thanks for the update. I guess some of us were over thinking it.

Been giving this some serious thought to budget for. Looks like a Good upgrade. I think I have a bad ball joint any way so I am going to have to spend some money down there any way.

I've been eyeballing mine to see if you could make it work on a 4WD. Looks great, btw.

X2, This would be a neat mod for my lifted 4X4. It looks pretty sporty also.

Did some off-roading and no issue's. Best 450.00 dollars I have spent on this truck. Steering seems more responsive also..

I'm glad someone went for it, big props! I was trying to see what would work for a while now. You guys that need the longer coil overs look at FOA shocks. Good prices and quality. Again thanks for posting this

Would help shave off a lot of weight and improve the ride greatly!
