I always wanted a set of TBSS reps for my 99. Think they are so clean.

Change of plans. Going with Atomic’s hybrid coils for my 2” front drop. My full setup will be Atomic’s hybrid coilovers for the front, relocated rear shocks, caltracs, calvert 2” drop hangers.

All this running on a 275/45/20 if I remember that correctly. Should ride like a cadillac if not better

And hook like a Bass Pro

You won't be disappointed with the coil overs, unless you install them wrong lol.

Yeah everything I read says they are quite the bomb as the kids say. My goal for this year is to get the suspension done, the exterior and frame painted and done. I’m putting the turbo off because I need a pretty truck to daily. The sheet metal roof is not so nice. Also my hood is just a mess

Coilovers are definitely the bomb. Going from struts and lift spacers to a full coilover was a game changer for my truck.

Yeah another big thing about getting the coilovers is that I will run real shocks not these “crappy generic brand meant for a 2500” shock that my uncle gave me. Not to be an *** but just the truth XD

He got in my truck drove it around the block after the 6.0 swap and went straight into his office to get my new shocks. Needless to say my previous ones had been on there for about 8-10 years and were blown lol

2” so I will have 2” in the front and 4” in the rear after hanger. 2/4 drop was my original plan but I was vetoed by my girlfriend and bank account back then. Now it is just my girlfriend so onwards and downwards
