    Gotta keep a moving target man.... hopefully fast moving :)

    So, I talked to my local 4WPs manager.. he says he doesn't know of any kits off the top of his head and just to stick on Bilstein 5100s all the way around.

    I talked to the guys at the other performance shop and they have mixed reviews with Bilsteins.. they've done a ton, but had a number of issues and not great warranty support. His recommendation is either leave it be, or do something that will make a real difference and go with a full Fox coilover kit, which he's had very good results with.

    I have a procomp stage 1 right now, so I *think* if I went the Fox route I need to buy the stage 1>2 conversion kit (without the procomp coilovers) and then buy the Fox coils on top of that... I know Fox is good.. but it's $1,400 retail.. *cough* *cough*. Anyone have experience with these?

    Fox has always been the top of the line. Gears are my next purchase

    I gotta be honest. I do have something else competing for my pennies right now...

    Well.. sorry to disappoint. the SC may have to wait until fall.

    But, I did figure out a way to smoke a Raptor in acceleration and offroad capabilities yesterday.

    And I get 40 mpg while doing it.
