my truck is starting to ride really rough now and is hitting the bumps really hard and i think i need new shocks or coils.

but since i have the BTF lift on it should i get some better than stock shocks or coils?

hi,

a few weeks ago i brought the rancho quicklift struds (without coils). but they don't work with the btf spacer. to high.
so, i will send the rancho quicklift struds back to the us shop.

there are a few replacement struds you could use. original struds, kyb struds, monroe struds, rancho struds.
i would go for the rancho struds, but i saw only front studs from rancho.

yeah with the spacers itd be too tall if you can get it all together and it would ride like a tank... i would get the kyb QUICK-STRUT(comes with new springs which makes install faster and easier+new springs too) they have great reviews on here
the search box is your friend
 






kybs have done me good ... so far about 5k miles and so far so good but they are more stiffer than stock but also have better handling espically with the lift

so the kybs suspension is able to fit? and your still able to use your btf lift with no modifications?

you are correct sir
 






Army, are you using the KYB model #341419 Excel-G's?

edit: I was looking on their website and that the model they have listed..I guess Im wondering where you ordered yours from?
 
























325 is for all four?
 






yea kazer haha no way in hell id pay $325 for one lol
 






Ohh okay. I need just rears unfortunately. I've got garbage struttek assemblies up front. My back coils are bowing outward lol just waiting on them to break before I replace
 






might wanna change em soon lol look on ebay for the rears

Kazer, the model your looking for is 341327. Thats the model number for the rear KYB's.
 






this number is only for the kyb struds without the coils?
what is the part number for the front/rear struds with coils included?

any good offers out there (www, ebay or shop)?
unfortunately i need a shipment to germay :(
