Awesome, thanks for popping in guys! On a different thread I was reading that someone said that the z71 springs add an inch of lift, is that true?

That welcome thread you got when you signed up has pretty much everything you need to get started. After that an evening with the stickies will help even more.

As with everything, it's a compromise depending on what you think you might like (Z71s or Skyjackers)... there are strong opinions on both sides of the argument and there's differing opinions coming from guys that have experience with both springs. So you kinda just gotta read opinions and make an educated guess.

That is what I did, at first I was going to just use the stock rear springs with a 2" spacer, however I got a offer to buy z71 and the 2" spacers. I figured what the hell and if I did not like them I'd sell them on here. So far I like them never really like how the back of the TB kinda jiggled when I went around a corner with bumps.
