Need advice on a 4" lift
Well about 3 years ago I put a rough country leveling kit on my truck and in about a year it sagged and now all the shocks and everything is going to the pits. After alittle research on here ive come to the conclusion to maybe get a ICON 4" spring system to replace the front spring and give my 315/75/16 Duratacs alittle more room. I just bought two new rear leafs from the stealer because my passanger had 3 leafs fall out so figured might as well add some height while im tearing it apart. Also what shocks would be good to install for a quality ride?

Bilstein shocks are the best and ride great. I know they cost more than any other shocks, but they are totally worth it.

I don't know about lifted trucks, I am sure Bilstein makes shocks for them also.

I was just looking and im wondering now if I should go with a hanger kit and just spend the extra money and buy two factory front leaf springs and then get the 4.5 icon hanger kit with the rear blocks or would the icon kit with front springs be a good way to go?
