Beautiful! Those tinted tails, subtle black lettering, and black inner grill trim really set the truck off.

 

I'm sure this topic has been beat to death here I just can't find where the questions were previously asked. Late last year I installed a Halo coilover and shock kit on my truck. Have had a couple problems with the rear shocks blowing out. The front also rides like it's on wooden wheels. I'm looking into options to change out the kit. Looking for a 2.5" kit, ride quality is a main key. The billstein 6000 series seems to have good reviews and I'm curious on your guys opinions. Disclaimer: It takes a lot for me to complain about things and this isn't my first lifted truck.

Thanks

 

 

That's disappointing to read because I've heard decent reviews on them and the Halo's are on my short list of future mods. How high did you have them cranked up in the front? I needed at least 2.5-2.75" of front lift since I have a heavy front bumper with a steel-cabled 12,000# winch. It has a big rake with the weight, even after adding a 2" level. Curious to learn more about your experience with the Halo's. Thanks in advance.

What rear shocks were "blowing out" and under what circumstances?

 

@rippn'av

The right rear shock blew out after about 200 miles. And they sent a replacement no problem. Now it feels the same way again after another 7-800 miles or so and is starting to make noise again. The front is just very stiff, when if I push on the front bumper to bounce the front end it barely moves. I left it at the out of the box setting which I believe is 2.75. This could be the reason why. With your accessories on the front end you may have a different outcome than me. I also don't have any uca's and am wondering if this is any cause for this. I have not done any off-roading with the truck since the kit was installed this has been all around town driving. My commute is to work or the gym which is either 1 mile or 3 miles.

 

Nice! Lookin' good. You should slip yourself in the nominations for Truck Of The Month

 

If you are just doing the leveling kit to the front... there shouldn't be a significant overall height increase correct? Looking into this and digging through this thread... but I'm in a parking garage for work and don't have much clearance as it is on the stock setup.

 

Front will go up, the rear won't change.

 

Okay, dumb question. Whats the correct order of operation for leveling, tires and alignment? I am doing a 2.5" level, rear OEM blocks and going from stock size 275/55/20 to 275/60/20. Level and blocks then alignment, then tires? Alignment and tires are 60 miles apart. Thanks
