Are your brackets able to accommodate 3" springs though? It seems like it would be more coat effective to make them all as similar as possible.

I didnt know you already had axel drop brakets on your truck, if thats the case then you can just try and find some drop radius arm brackets. Once you have the radius arm drop brackets and new u bolts and shocks u will basically have the kit i bought and your truck will sit damn near level, if you look at my picks that will be what your truck will look like exactly. u will almost be my twin lol. The brackets can go to a 3in lift but theres no such thing as a 3in lift coil spring, if you want to go to a 4in lift coil you will need to get 4in drop brackets for everything.

Hahaha alright, thank you. What size kicks you got on there? Mine are 31's. Otherwise I would have lifted it higher. Ha hell yeah I am. Trucks these colors are pretty rare. I've seen a few around here, but I'm destined to take them out one of these days so I'll be the only one hah jk

Ive got 33's and this summer i actually plan on painting my truck, the tops going to be black with blue down the center and black on the bottom again. I wish i could keep this color but my body is in bad shape now and was going to paint it myself. Theres only one other one ive seen around me and they live like a block away lol
