I have the Belltech Street Performance shocks in the rear, which is what they pair the coilovers with in their upgraded lowering kits. So yes, but I've had those for a while now.

I was hoping these would be valved differently from the BSP line and there was a separate matching rear.

I guess not, they do offer an upgraded coilover from what I bought. Mine is the 15002 and is adjustable height but preset dampening. The 16002 are adjustable height and have adjustable dampening too. Those are over $1000 though. I guess they are both valved to be paired with their SP shocks, don't know much about that though.

Update. So I've been having a trucool 40k since I did the motor swap and upgraded converter but ... never installed it. Planned on installing it the weekend after getting the truck tuned but was driving it and temps were fine. My job I had then was a long interstate drive away from my house and my trans temps never got too high. I switched jobs to another location and have a lot of stop and go, but started that job during fall/winter with cooler temps so my trans never got too hot. Now that the weather is heating up and I have been in this stop and go traffic, my trans has been getting up to around 200 degrees everyday on my way home soooo finally decided to install the cooler.

Wasn't bad at all. Used the AFP bracket and factory lines. Also did not bypass the radiator. Trans temps have been staying around 40 degrees cooler.

Other than that, everything is great!

This was such a cool truck. I hope the new owner takes care of it. What's next?

I loved it and enjoyed driving it but it was getting old and worn out. I put so much time and money into the drivetrain and gave it solid bones but the rest of the truck was getting worn out (231k miles and counting) I wanted to get rid of it while it was still worth money to someone, bc I knew I would never put the time and money into a full paint job and have interior redone. The truck was paid off but costed me a new truck note to fill it up all month (2 tanks a week on 93oct). Kbb on 08 Denali with 231k miles (I know mine had a fresh drivetrain, but kbb doesn't look at that) was around $6-7k and I ended up getting $15k for the truck. Obviously lost money on all the parts put into it but I think it was a fair deal for both parties. A middle aged firefighter captain bought it and plan to fix it up more. He has other boosted vehicles so it will fit right in.

As for kids, not yet but in the next few years I'm sure we will start trying (or not avoiding lol)

As for the replacement ... (don't hate me). Sold the truck Saturday, drove to Texas Sunday, and drove home in a new-ish 2018 F150 4x4 Monday. Do not currently have any performance plans for it. Just some simple stuff to make it a clean enjoyable daily, and then hopefully get a single cab for a project later on.
