Suspension ideas for 2012 Megacab, need help with shocks.
So here's what I have 2012 megacab, 4wd. Thuren 2" could and overland shocks all around.
I'm thinking about upgrading to Thuren Trac bar, and Carli mini leaf pack for the rear. Possibly get Thuren sway bar links.
I'm wondering of you guys with similar components what shocks are you running? Or what shocks do you prefer with this kind of a setup. I really can't drop the coin for kings but was curious about maybe bilstien 5160 should those go on all 4 corners or a dif style in the rear? I read somewhere about a Carli specific bilstien 5160?...what about those? Any other thoughts are welcome too.
As a side note....I'm trying to find front shocks for my 11 4500 4wd. Monroe wore way too fast, bilstien 5160 seemed like they're too stiff maybe, tried thuren Overlands too soft really bad ride. What shock will work with these stiffer coil springs? I need to find the compression rate of the springs, Don Thuren said he could build me a set. (Don't know if I really want to pay that much) I'd like to find something that'll work real good. Bilstien yellow/blue, 5100? Etc. Thanks guys!
