Nice, those are easy to upgrade if need be when you are done. You doing the install?

Yes I had to stop during the reassembly due to the kit being the wrong year so it's sitting on jacks in the driveway until my new kit arrives.

Well update lol. Bds kit will take over a week and a half to get so I had to cancel for another option to get my truck back in the road. Almost bought the zone with boss coilovers but that also was a ways away so I bought the first kit I was going to be the 6.5" McGaughys. Got it for 1,600 free shipping

I heard good things about bds and the McGaughys but my first choice was McGaughys but I went against my own gut and read the positive of the bds. I feel everything happens for a reason.

Let me know if you have any questions with the install. Just a word of advice be careful with the IWE hubs when you put them in the new spindles.

Will do. I am excited to put it on. Hope it can clear a set of 36x15.50 tires so I can upgrade when my 35s wear out
