Quick lift question...
So Wendy said no to removing the step bars and so I think I need a little more lift. I was thinking a shackle in the front and replacing the block in the rear. Would I need to do any steering components or would I be good just swapping that out?

A 4" S/Duty lift kit should come with a dropped track bar bracket. That was all that was needed on mine.

Seems like the weekly thread were Apoc is bored and "needs" something because it was approved by his Chain of Command. 
If you can afford it more power to you. Personally if I had brand new ATS suspension I would leave it alone.

^^^^ What he said ^^^^
If you really want the no step look, just dave up and get the retractable ones the Michael is running. I know they are expensive, but it would be a very nice upgrade that once done will always offer both the looks and the functionality.
