OKay. Thats what i figured. Ill wait till something breaks or whatsnot to jump into leveling the front at that cost. Like i said, i just bought a new OEM coil assembly today to make my saggy RT side good again. DOnt wanna spend more on new lifted parts just yet. Plus its just my beat on/work truck. Itll be okay not leveled. ha. thank you very much for your in depth advise and answers!!!!
You could swap the body lift on the bed to a 3" to bring the bed down to be the same as the 4" on the front maybe idk ...i dont get to much into body lifts

Yea i have the tool already as well and theyve broken before when i took the 15 different prep steps to not break them and did all the mentioned tricks and wasted SO much time to have them still snap. So on this new truck im just going to hit it with the impact and not waste all the soaking time and sloooooow turning of the wrnch. Theres an awesome video on YouTube where an old boy Impacted ALL them out in minutes. Was awesome n now its my turn. Plus useing the extract tool doesnt scare me. Goes well after youve learned it.

No No!! No switching the body lifts to smaller ones. Their steel pipes cut, powdercoated and installed with poly bushings and 14 of them front to rear. So id have to cut a lil off each one to have that idea work. ha

But then again the fsbtech is just shocks that are longer so you could use the new oem coils on them and buy a level..
So youd need 2 front shocks and a leveling kit witch isnt to much and use oem coils like i did for awhile then upgraded them to towing coils awhile ago ....just if that is somthing you wanted to do also

Yes you could put a level in yours to bump you up to a 8" .....3 was alittle to much but it was already on the truck from when i leveled it before so i ran it not a 2"
We have almost the same setup but i upgraded the shocks and have stabs on the front and you have the base kit.....
