Setup, honest opinon...

Now:
4-6 inch lift
Fender trim
35"-37" BFG MT
14-bolt SF 4.56 w/detroit
10-bolt front like geared

Now my question is what lift setup, i.e manufacturer, all-spring vs. shackles (I prefer spring if its less work) shocks, etc. Any preferences on this one. I have read a lot about Tuff Country but I know there are going to be differences in opinion on this one.

Very nice man. As far as springs go if you go 6" lift I would do a flip plus aftermarket springs in the back. Or change to 56s (one ton trucks or burbs) with some leaves taken out if you use the one ton pack plus the shackle flip.

As far as springs I believe BDS or tuff country ez rides is pretty much the consensus. One thing that you might want to do is Ford shock towers up front to mount a way longer spring and you may want to move your front shackle hanger forward a bit to get more angle on shackle. Probably gonna want to replace the shackles too they are pretty weak

Only planning 37s I would do a 4" lift

On the flip, would that entail also using the same lift spring or a smaller size?

And I am going to do the search for Ford shock tower, but does anyone know of a resource/write up on it? I have the quad shock setup on the front right now.

Lastly, Shackles were going to be upgraded just forgot to mention but which ones? I know ORD makes some quality products but are there others that any would recommend?

<whew>
