Number 2.

The stock U-Bolts don't have enough thread for the zero rates?

#2 Way better flex with that setup over #1.

2 Baby!!!
You may not want to drop the tcase, and just disconnect the swaybar and see how it drives. I bought the quick discos and a week later removed the swaybar completely.
FYI Drop the tank before you do the shackle flip, it will save you time in the long run.
You may be able to get a little discount from ORD because you are a CK5 member.

x2 - disconnected the sway bar as a test - removed it the following week.

#2 all the way I wish I had done that instead of buying a truck with a lift and stiff AZZ springs!!

 

[babyburb]

So, by unanumous decision the following kit will be purchased

Drum roll please......

...#2

Thanks for the help guys. Now I am a little more at ease that I will choose the right one.

My apoligizes for the whole drum roll thing. I am a little bored.

 

[Chrisblazzer89]

Dont worri but to make up for the drum roll you now need to start a build thread!!

 

[chalet2506]

Are your rear springs still in good shape? I'm trying to make the same kind of decision, but my problem with the schackle flip is that I'd still need to spend the money on new rear springs - mine are shot. I've been thinking I'd better off just getting a suspension lift with all new ones in it.

 

[ryoken]

I'll be in same boat.. that being said, i'll definitely go the extra 175 for a flip too.. the ride, flex difference will be well worth it imo over a spring lift...

 

[babyburb]

The rear springs looks in good shape. What should I be looking for if they weren't?
