The truck is getting the front tubbed, fenders rolled, and I am adding my 2" shackles for a grand total of 5/8. Can't wait for this this to be over so I can finally drive it.

I have not had a chance to drive it...why? Because this is what happened to my truck the day I dropped it off to have all the work done to it!

I paid $700 for the setup plus bolts, washers, nuts.

I called DB Rods and he had all the info. Spring rate can be tricky, but they have a calculator on their site.

After 3 weeks, I had to call and yank my truck out of the shops possession. I called my insurance, and the truck was towed today into a body shop to start getting it all fixed. Door, mirror cap, fender, hood, both bumpers, grille and headlight.

Got her back on the road finally. Still judging the coilovers, getting a feel for them.

so many trucks run them, they are relatively inexpensive. I knew for a fact I wasn't running a 2-link. I've seen less 4-links, and the 6 link kits are nice but way too damn much...and (un)fortunately, however you want to look at it, it didn't sell. I had way too many flakers and tire kickers that I finally just decided to take it off the market and do what I wanted to in the beginning. I am running a new link from Unparalleled Customs.

Thanks. I will sell my coilovers and purchase new quality shocks to run the truck with.

I will be running dominator 2600s up front, and FS9000s in the rear (from my mcgaughy helper setup).

Just seen that your going to bag the truck. Now the 3 link makes perfect sense lol. I will be keeping an eye on this build.
