i only have 55k miles. the eiback rear leafs will hurt towing? i would plan on doing airbags regardless of flip kit or leaf springs. at first i was really inclined on doing the flip kit but the more i look at it i think i want leafs. I already have the 2 inch shackles so if i do the eibachs i can have 4 or 5 drop depending on what hole i put the leaf in on the shackle. I am planning some type of power adder within a year or 2 as well and will need traction bars as well. something the flip kit would put a damper on.
for the front could i just go with the belltech adjustable struts and put them on -2 inches?

ive done the rear leafs and they are ok just lose a lot of towing and started to sag after 25k miles to a point the customer brought it back to me since he drove daily. eibach told me to ship the leafs back then they will look at it and then if they are bad send another and takes 3-6 weeks. Customer needed his truck so i just put the djm flip kit on it and he liked the ride a lot better. Had same thing happen 2 other times and end of 08 i canceled my account with eibach just dont want to deal with issues.
in front the drop struts you can do -2 inches and they are 215 shipped to your door.
i have 2 guys doing over 550 rwhp on their 05 and 08 with the djm 4 inch flip kit and i adjusted the pinion angle and they are on drag radials and one street races with me on weekends and there are no issues.
If you have anymore questions feel free to email me.

thanks for the info. what are your thoughts on the adjustable struts? how hard are they to adjust up or down? aligns easy? loss of ride quality?
for the flip kit what are we talking price wise shipped for the 4 inch kit? and i can or cannot use the airlift kit on this?
if i go eibach 3 inch drop springs and keep some air in the bags how do you think ill do?

you can use the airlift kit ont he 4 inch but honestly there is so much room still before it bottoms out you can load it up and wont really bottom out..
for the rear djm flip kit with djm shorter shocks its $400 shipped and as always if you see it for less ill beat it and I carry a lifetime warranty on the djm shocks.
If you get the leafs your going to need shorter shocks anyway so add that in because stock shocks are to long.

i use my truck alot for towing. so the airlift kit would be a must. with it stock i often load it to an inch or so of the bump stops. can i get the regular airlift kit meant for my truck? what modifications if any are needed when i do the flip kit to the air bags?
give me a quote on 4 inch flipkit with 2 inch ca's
and one with 4 inch flip kit and adjustable struts.
which front combo am i going to be happier with ride wise?

It does not matter if the does or does have a flip kit.. thats just for lowering of the truck.. bags dont really matter.. at all depends on what you will be doing with the truck...
