Let us know how it rides with the 5" springs. I have only heard that they ride like crap. I am just waiting to hear someone say that they have them and they ride fine. Thats all i will need to lose my 3" springs and roll some 5's.

Trim the bumpstops and get shorter shocks and the ride is ok. I didn't notice much of a difference when I went from 3 to 5, but you have to make sure the bumpstops are trimmed or they will bottom out on the axle and make for a harsh ride.

If I buy 5" springs I might notch the frame and run a longer shock. I kinda want to bag the back with a big ass sway bar, then build some control arms and coilover the front. Thanks for the props guys, Blue is almost 2 years old and shes really turning into a good dog. I'm gonna switch some sh*t up this summer but it looks ok for now, just needs a blower and some longtubes.

I wish my paint looked that good. I bought my truck at night when it was raining :(. The owner during the lease beat the hell out of the paint. There is really bad touch up everywhere. I wanted to get a G Sheppard but now I want a Boxer. But I have to wait until I get a bigger house and a backyard. I can't have a Boxer and 2 weiner dogs in an 800 SQFT house. NO BUENO.

You'll want to cut out the stock bumpstop and bracket up to the frame and replace with a low profile poly stop. DJM has a good explanation of it on their site
