    This weekend I installed a 3” kit I received as a Christmas gift. The kit is tuff country with risers for front above the shock in the struts and a riser block and new shocks in the rear. As of now the truck is sitting at about 4” higher but I’m sure things will “settle” into place after a few miles. Next thing is some bigger tires. Not sure yet what I want to put on there size wise but I know I want BFG KO2.

    Feels about the same. Haven’t noticed more or less bounce on roads. Real test will be during camping and hunting, by then I should have new tires on her. I hope.

    Drive it on a really crappy road and you will feel how stiff it is. That's why I removed a spacer kit and went to coilovers and shackles.

    Forgot to mention....a lot of members have had issued the the BFG KO2's. Look at the Falkens, Nittos, and Coopers.

    from the naked eye it doesn’t look like it has changed. Maybe they can tell me when I go and get my alignment done

    I will drive it on a bad road here soon and see how it feels. I have a lot of construction going on near my house and so far it seems to be fine.

    I have had KO2 on almost every vehicle I have owned and never had an issue with them. I will do a little looking though.

    I used to have KO2's as well. As with a lot of things, they don't make them like they used to. That's why GoodYear is damn near non-existent.

    Good point I’ve heard really good things about Nitto and Cooper. I’ll look into them! :thumbsup::hattip:
