I'll more likely purchase the other kit where I can adjust the rebound and compression in May or after taxes but does the kit come with all necessary parts so I can still adjust the camber and so on.
Thank you

Basically for now, I'll be staying at stock height but one of those days/months I would like to lower it 2F 5R once I can afford it. Know that I'm going the wrong way by just purchasing the coilovers first but I can only afford so much at a time.

well that coilover kit will lower from 0-3 inches. 3 inch level you will need to grind on the frame to align thats why people usually do 2/4. Now you can do the above kit and then add the rear shackles for 2 inches which are 85 shipped.
So you can at least level it out.
The rear shocks are shorter so good for a 4 or 5 inch drop no prohblem. At least with the set up above you get new front struts/springs that are adjustable and rear shocks that are adjustable you can really dial in the ride.
one thing later on i would do is the rear swaybar from belltech. It really plants the truck down. Usually my older customers do this above kit with shackles and the rear swaybar and they are very happy how the truck corners. DJM just came out with a big 1.5 inch front swaybar which really wakes it up also.

So how much do I need to save up to make this happen like you stated above? How much are the swaybars?
This way I can start saving up and should be able to order it mid-April or early May.
Thanks Tony

shoot me a email tony@tbssowners.com because we have a few options you can do and like to work around your budget. If it means you save up 5-6 months no problem im not going anywhere. I'd rather have a customer do it one time right and be done with it even if it takes longer.

Bilstein HD rear shocks + 2" lowering shackles?
I already own Bilstein HD shocks in the rear and I am thinking of purchasing Belltech 2" lowering shackles. Will I be okay with this setup?

seeing its a new truck honestly I would do the djm front a arms on it. doesnt affect shock stroke and rides great.
DO NOT get lowering springs in front the stock shocks on the 04 ups get killed fast when you use lowering springs on them. ALso ride is not the greatest.
