Building my own suspension....
i got a few questions on this, i would like to have the look of the carli, kore, and thuren stuff, but i don't got the $$$,, is there anyway i can get some coils, shocks, leaf springs, etc, and get the same thing??
what all would i need for it all to work together??
i would like 2.5 in the front and 1.5 in the rear and not ride too rough?? too much to ask for??
thanks

you can peice together a lift with parts from DT fab, deaver springs, thuren track bar etc, and i think in the end you will get a better ride with the best of the best parts, but will spend close to the same amount as buying a kit.

since you already have the leveling kit, could you get the new towers from thuren and use a better shock up front? at least then you would have good dampening for now until you wanted to pay for coils. Then add mini packs and shocks to the back as you get the cash

To build a decent suspension on the cheap, here's what I'd do:
Buy Shock towers from Thuren (cheapest around).
Get coil springs from Coil Spring Specialties.
Leaves from Deaver.
Shocks, take your pick base on what you can get cheapest. I like the Fox and Kings myself. You have save money valving them yourself, if you know how to do that.
Keep the lift mild and you'll save a lot of money from avoiding radical suspension re-work.

Hey has anybody ever ran foa shocks (first over all) they seem decently priced for what you get, but don't want to spend the cash on them without hearing about their performance
