Our stock end links are junk when the truck is not lifted so I would suggest doing them. As far as pricing goes, by the time you add the end links and Kore's shipping chrage you have closed the gap between the Kore HP and a Carli starter. A few vendors like ourselves offer free shipping that make that makes the difference a lot less for a better ride.

I bought my starter kit from SkydRam. George is very knowledgeable about our trucks and answered all of my questions.

I would get quality aftermarket ones. The stock ones suck and can bend really easily. Typical leveling kits dont address this because their objective is cost savings over quality. Kore uses blocks to atleast correct the length issue but you are still using the crap stock links. They could bend and you'll end up buing new ones anyway.

do it right the first time.

or you could just ditch the swaybar entirely.

i haul 3-5k all day every day it still rides like , now in my 08 where i haul my boat or my sleds every once in awhile i wish i could afford a carli. quit being iggnorant why put a tuner in or aftermarket exhaust you dont need more power actually you should detune your truck as to you can still pull what ever you are pulling just fine. its what they wana do its there money iam sure they weighed there options better ride = less capacity rough ride = more capacity, then again carlis are rated springs so you probley still have almost the same load capacity

[440dart]

meant that for snofarmer hate when guys like that say things like that guess we can say well cars are for getting from point a to point b and trucks are for hauling something from point a to point b so why turn up our trucks or make our cars go faster ect its the same argument

And this is why I have two very different trucks!

I have my 2004.5 that rides and tows nice BUT will ride better empty and still carry a load-my family tends to ride in this one with me.

For those days when I feel like being a real 'Salt-of-the-Earth' type guy I drive my 1972 D-100 with a granny low, manual steering and brakes. Yes, it is fun to drive BUT it does take some effort compared to it's newer off spring to put in a 1,000 mile trip.

On my dually I want to have my cake and eat it too and have more for the weekend PLUS a never ending glass of icy cold milk. I guess that means in 2010 my Dodge will have a host of Carli parts underneath!

is the kore really that much worse than carli because it dosent seem that way and why would i need swaybar links with a leveling kit? isnt there blocks you can put under the swaybar where it bolts on. i think i wanna go with kore for cost and i dont do any offroading i can honestly say i have never been mudding in anything i own. I have my truck as just as a hobby and i probably should own a car but dont so all i do is drive to work everyday and once and a while haul a dirtbike,gravel,wood.

As mentioned earlier the stock links are weak,they will bend when at full droop with any lift.I see it all the time.Many guys say they don't drive hard but once the truck is kicked up a notch earlier intentions are quickly forgotten.
One huge advantage with the Carli line-up is you can start with the starter kit knowing that if or when you want to upgrade you do not need to throw away what you already bought.The next,probably should be the first listed is when you call the Carli shop you will get some one on the phone who is well versed in all the kits and options available.That person has also had miles of off road under their belt in Mexico and up here.Call the other guys and you may or may not even get some one on the line.There is a reason why the Carli dealer network has grown and the kore has shrunken to what it is.
