? about Bilstein...

I know I'm going with Bilstein shocks when I put the leveling kit on but my question is.. What are the advantages or disadvantages in going with the longer coil springs vs. just using the spacers. Any big differences or is it just a preference thing?

Did you find a place that has the Bilstien "Kit" with springs ans shocks or just shocks and you are going to get the springs somewhere else. I had the leveling Kit on my F-150 and it was an easy install and I did just want spacers. I dont just want to put spacers in my truck now either, I would like to put new springs and shocks in it. Keep me posted.

Thanks,
Sarge

Go to shockwarehouse.com and search for the kit. This kit comes with two new coils and two new front shocks.
