What was needed to change in order to add it to the Superlift? Just longer coilovers?

Yea just a 2"longer travel shock, I need to brace the drop brackets to be safe, as for the rear setup I have a pair of 2.0x12" fox rezis on the way and that's all I can afford for a while :p

Are you going to brace them back to the old torsion bar mounts?

Tires are doing great! Will buy again, Aaron sent me the straps but they were the 11" that a stock heigh truck uses so I had to go buy some 14's. As for bumps.. Yea superlift bumps for now haha Thanks everyone for the comments!

DBR kit:a few grand,
gas to take my dad for a drive: a few dollars,
seeing the grumpy old man giggle like a girl when airborne:priceless

No was the kit supposed to come with them? Aaron told me the way my radflos are valved I shouldnt even need hydro bumps, I'm stupid and have no clue what I'm doing so I just use his advice one thing I need to do soon is a 6" tender coil to make it ride nicer on the street (it's a bit rough)

I'm sure I'll go hydro eventually though, I'm just flat out broke after losing my job a few weeks ago so I'm just happy it's all drivable right now
