    Go with what the guys listed above for aftermarket UCA. If you are going that route do it right. If someone hasn't mentioned it yet, call Filthy Motorsports, or email them and talk to Ben. That man has a plethora of information, and can talk on end about suspensions. They are very busy, but they do get back to you just be patient.

    I'm biased since I just bought a mid travel kit from mcm w/ADS coil-overs, rear bypasses, k37's leaf springs.

    Not my pics, but I'm impressed with seeing MCM's work. I was also impressed seeing the ADS shocks in person with @831Tun truck last weekend. I'll post pics of mine when they come in.

    Anyone know anything about "Rocky Road" rock sliders? found a good deal on a set and literally about to buy them. They seem to be very well made and along the lines of the other ones mentioned on here

    These? upload_2018-4-18_21-6-10.jpg


    $559 + $80 shipping on the web site for new. And that's powder-coated. Sounds like a steal!

    They don’t have any pics of how they mount on their website. Price definitely looks good though.

    I have an ADS setup that I ordered from MCM fab. MCM is great to work with - always responsive to any questions/concerns that I had. I wanted over 3" of lift, so I opted for the 700 lb springs. I was worried about them being overly "stiff", but I really like them. Around town, the truck drives fairly close to stock, with the exception of body roll in corners, as I ditched the sway bar. I kept the rear leaf springs and just threw some ToyTec shackles, as I still use my truck quite a bit to haul stuff and it sags bad enough with stock springs, so I didn't want to make that worse throwing some softer aftermarket rear leafs on it. Plus, I have never been much into running my truck offroad at high speeds - I have always been more of a slow finesse type driver. Too much crap breaks at high speed - gets too expensive. (Although, you can tell that these shocks shine more the harder you hit them).

    Anyway, the setup is overkill for what I use it for, but I like that the shocks are rebuildable, and the ride is awesome IMO. I have been very happy with it.

    I threw on a diff drop kit and a carrier bearing drop as well since I lifted the rear about an inch.

    What shock did you place in the rear? Wondering for us who have no plans on replacing their leafs.

    Stock. They are good stock to 1" of lift. I have the rear shackles set for about 1" of lift in the rear.

    Thanks. I want to eventually replace the boss shocks I have in the rears. But not sure if I ever will replace my leaf pack or not. I’ll figure it out when I’m ready.
