Or buying new tires until the current K02's wear out, although they are a bit narrow for my liking but were bought in a jam. All depends on what my best friend does with his GM, if he lifts instead of levels I will have to do the same. Kind've how we roll, I got an exhaust, he did too. Both bought brand new mountain sleds for this year, and both got into dirt bikes last year although I always had motorcycles.

What @one_slow_eco said (that ig handle was on point, similar to @egoboostin which is one I saw the other day) The BDS 4" kit is a true drop mount kit, with a diff drop and larger steering knuckles and all the good bits; it's basically the same as he 6" kit but 2" shorter. Where the adjustability comes in is the lift coils, because Fox technically doesn't make a 4" lift coil, people usually turn down the 6" lift coil they make or use Raptor takeoff coils. With the 6" coil you can have it set at 4" of lift with a nice mellow ride or use it as it's designed as a 6" coil and it would act as a 2" level on a stock truck, increasing the 4" lift by 2" in the front but moving your cv angles.

Side note, I kind of want to change my handle to that_fake_raptor just for ****s and giggles because everyone I run into that doesn't know trucks ends up asking if it is or not haha
