Cant decide which kit to go with. Hellbent is 1/2 the price, but is it worth it? Also, will I need track bar or new shocks? Im only putting a 33" tire on the truck, and I'm putting airbags on the back.
About to do the same heard good things about daystar , i think you can use oem shocks but might be an idea to do while you have coil out or so ive been told .
yeah im going to buy the shocks too. i decided to go with the daystar kit. i didnt know they had a warranty with them. i also like the no metal on metal contact.
FYI, The Daystars are great on lighter vehicles such as Jeeps, etc. I looked at both too and then went with the steel ones. Have been 100% pleased and now have 150K lifted miles with no problems. I used the Top Gunz spacers. If I were doing it again, I would probably go with the Hellbent Steel ones as it appears that they use larger 7/16" studs to retain them than the TG which have 3/8" bolts welded in. Either is fine. I ran my stock shocks for 150K with the spacers and then recently put on a dual shock kit with the Skyjacker Nitros. I love 'em!!!

I just did these same exact mods. I went with the HBS 2" kit, added new Bilsteins since my stockers seemed shot, Sway bar end links because mine were shot, and just went with Firestone bags with on board air supplied by Viair compressor and 2 gal tank. I also opted for a 33" tire.
I can't debate the Daystar/HBS issue....not familiar with Daystar products.
