I know many will think it's such a small lift I shouldn't bother, but for now it's about all I want or can afford. I can't seem to find any reviews on this kit on a google search, so I figured I'd come to the experts and ask.
The kit proports to use shock extensions to preserve the stock shocks, and while I'm sure that these are less than optimal solutions for roughing it off road, the reality is that this is largely a street truck (and a diesel at that). It ain't so svelte.
I previously had the dealership "fix" the uneven attitude by cranking the torsion bars, but that has resulted in clearance issues with the lower control arms and bump stops that I wasn't advised of way back when. I think this looks like a better alternative, but like I said I'm far from an expert on this. My previous mods have all been Mustangs so this is a really new world for me.
