I thought they rode pretty nice for a drop coil but my truck is a 2wd. I wonder if that's the difference. Only strut upgrades I know of are the Belltech drop struts or swapping to the 13 and earlier lower control arms and running Belltech's coilovers.

I still wanna try a set of DJM 3" drop arms and Fox coilovers set at 0" lift. That's an expensive experiment though.

I knew I should have posted my DJM arms on here. I decided to just put the 2/4 back on until I can get it up to Rocky at Chaotic.

I'm in the same boat, I also didn't remove my bump stops, and tag them a lot. I have belltechs in the mail.

I cut my bumpstops in half as the instructions stated, and I only bottom out on large bumps.

You'll like the BellTech struts. They ride very well and I've never once felt my truck bottom out.

I've got the Crown 3" front springs and switching to the Belltech front struts definitely helped the ride a TON plus I was able to lower the front more to make it lower than the back. It was higher in the front before...

I found out I'm bottoming out on stock struts. I need to find a shorter one.
