Couple that with a pair of FOA 2.0x10 resis in the stock location you'd be set

I wouldnt want that much lift, it actually sits a little lower than that picture with the kit on now. Custom uniball uppers, tabs and towers are from midnight 4x4 and just the 2.0 coilovers, Thanks though

not btf uppers but the uniballs came from them, bought the tower and tabs then cut to fit. 6.5'' travel shock. It doesnt pull an amazing amount of total travel but its better than the torsion bars and the ride is far superior. What do you have on the rear end of your truck?

You can flip your stock hangers and shackles and it'll drop the ride height to about where you want it I think. Then you can still run the better springs but not have to worry about lifting it.

You'll be better off than with deavers. Deavers sag big time with weight unless you get the g50s. These springs are rated for about 600 more pounds of weight than the ranger springs

I can get fox shocks for a deal, but they come valved at 40/60. Should I keep them that way or re-valve them?

Check the collapsed/extended length of the shocks first. Not sure on the valving, just call up fox and see what they say
