Coilovers?
I got a 6in fabtech and wanna go a bit higher. 1-2 maybe 3 inches. I've heard about Coilovers. What exactly are those? I have this suspension too.
What are my options with that?
And how much are Coilovers and some new shocks for the back since I'll probably be needing them to even out the front? Thanks in advance!
Just wanna feed my brain with some info!

Coilovers are just a shock with the coil basically mounted with it, your best bet for coilovers would be the camburg ones if your on a budget or if you want quality go with king they make ones that will directly fit in the front and they also have ones for the rear, but since you already have a lift on idk how well these will still work

You have coil over springs in the front and leaf springs in the back. Coil overs are any spring mounted directly over/mounted to a shock set up. You cant put tradition coilovers in the rear because you have leafs. They make a "coilover" type rear shock but it wont add any more life its mainly to increase payload for towinghgauling.
It doesnt look like you have a leveling kit on the front. If you want more lift you can put a leveling kit spacer on top of your current coil over set up and either a taller spacer of an add-a-leaf in the rear.

I mean a leveling kit on top of a suspension lift. Leveling kits are fine by themselves.

Coilovers are like $1100-$1800 depending on the brand. You can definitely run a leveling kit on top of your suspension..like 2" is usually what most people do to try and reduce the added wear on ball joints and cv joint angles...for the rear you can do an add a leaf or bigger blocks to compensate for the front.
