Resi Rear shocks. The moving parts are in the remote can, more oil capacity so it takes longer for the oil to heat up, less foaming, less fade. Just an upgrade we thought some would like the option to opt for....and they look darn cool too!

I cant argue with that. I love the look at it takes the railroad tracks and terrible Louisiana roads at 65mph much better than it did stock and leaps and bounds better than when I just had a leveling kit. I am happy and very impressed.

with new wheels with a little more aggressive offset. plan to put the tapered 3" blocks in the back and use a BDS 4" upfront on top of the coilovers to get it a little higher.

Lookin' good! Starting to sound like a lift addiction ...

What is the offset of your new wheels? So, you plan to add an additional 4" on top of the 3" Boss front coilovers to achieve a 7" total lift in front?

I am going to add the 4" on top of the boss coilovers, yes. but I will adjust the coilovers to sit just a little higher in the front than back with the 3" block. so probably anywhere from 5.5-6.5" up front depending on how it sits. 3" tapered blocks is what alex advised me the biggest to go with the rear shock I have so I am listening. spent too much on the shocks and coilovers to not use them. i called around and the 3" block is what BDS uses with their 4" kit and i think 3" is what RC uses with their 5" kit so i ought to be able to adjust the coilovers to get the perfect stance. and the new wheels are -19mm offset. the mavericks were +14

Looks good with the aggressive offset. Any rubbing? Are you cranked all the way up on you coilovers?

Not rubbing now. Did some trimming and removed the front crash bars. Def won't rub with a few more inches up front. And no. They are at about 2.5". Didn't wanna chatter my teeth out cranking them all the way.

I had a feeling you removed the crash bars. I'm thinking a 0 offset on mine now, may even go with a 4" bds and uncrank the coils. I appreciate all the insight.
