The 210T shock won't work... You need the C210 and the 5" t-bar kit. Atleast I did.

You can find a heavier spring lot of places. I'm going with a 650 personally.

Thanks for the call out. Did you get yours installed?

I just went an measured mine; it's 4" bolt-to-bolt across the t-bar.

Gotcha, didn't want you to think I was being a dick or anything!

are you relying only on the coil over to lower the front of the truck now?

No, it'l still have the Belltech drop spindle. Decided to keep my kit installed.

I'm thinking about removing the overload leaf to iprove ride quality. Good idea/Bad idea? I'll install a helper bag kit to improve load carrying capacity when I haul stuff.

did you take all of the measurements needed to make sure you're getting the right shock? the 210 with a drop spindle might not be the right one, can't remember what they told me at viking.

I measured the current ride height and subtracted out the coil over adapter. That was 14.5".

Why would I not use my current ride height as a basis? It's what Viking recommended for my rear shocks and it aligns with what I see others using with a similar setup.
