    Hi everyone, thanks for the great info on this site!
    I just bought an 8' bed 4x4, been reading lots of info on here about options, seems like Eibach pro 2 is a good option, maybe Toytec as well. I'm not looking to break the bank but I'd like to get a good couple inch lift or so. Probably will keep stock tire size.
    Do people typically change out the leaf shackles and/or add a leaf in the back when lifting?
    Thanks for any info or recommendations!

    If you haul or tow, worth upgrading the rear leafs, or going RAS

    Cool thanks! What is RAS, sorry not familiar. Definitely will be hauling firewood etc, towing a small camper and such.
    I'm not super into off roadibg but do love off a poorly maintained dirt road.

    Great info, thanks! So that RAS, combined with coach builder shackles in the rear and some Eibach coil overs in the front could be a good 2-3" lift maybe? Can I get away with not doing UCAs and diff drops?

    At 3" you most likely need a new UCA, but talk to @memario1214 he's very knowledgeable in this, he's even got most of Eibach and other suspensions on sale right now and can def give you some advise as a whole on how to approach it for your best usage.
    Just beware, it's a very deep and dark rabbit hole, we spend countless gold there......
    All jokes aside, can't find a better guy that knows his shit better and offers advise that is worth its weight in gold

    Alot of them
    Stock tire size with even a 2 inch lift will look small.

    Eibach Pro Truck Sport Shocks set to your desired lift height in the front with stock springs is a great option. I have mine set to 1.9" and the ride is great. As far as the rear goes there's a lot of options if your stock springs are not flattened. I've ran blue Sumo Springs since the truck had 1000 miles on it; they are great. I added a 1" block when I installed the front lift. Kept enough rake for towing and it handles great.

    That was something I was afraid of, but hoping running my OE 20 inch wheel with similar AT tires would compensate that a bit.
