Ended up picking up a 4" superlift from S00TLYFE will be installing that this week! Looks like i'll be holding off on the coilovers a little longer when funds are right! Im not 100% if I will be installing the radius arms and I for sure won't be using the shocks since I already have new Ranchos. If anyone is interested in buying the shocks PM me or text me 951-760-0141 I'm still debating on the radius arms

Don't forget that those radius arm drop brackets and the extended radius arms don't go together. It's a one or the other situation. Either stock radius arms with the radius arm drop brackets or stock radius arm brackets with the extended radius arms.

Good to know! I thought in order to run the extended radius arms I needed to install the brackets as well!

So I just spoke with someone last night and asked about the radius arms and drop bracket he stated that they do go together. That the drop bracket is there to help correct the caster that is why it hangs lower.

But, you will need either beam drop brackets (not to be confused with radius arm drop brackets) or cut/turned beams with the 4" lift springs.

Forgot to ask who did your front bumper when you were over last week.
I've installed a lot of these.
