You might consider the rear Bilstein replacements also. When I removed the stock shocks from mine,they were so pitifully weak my accordian in fifth grade offered more resistance.

Sofaking,

Yes, you can retain your 3500 upper overloads with the KORE minipack, I did it on my truck and we just had to remove the clamps on the end, but to be quite honest, I doubt it would have ever been in a binding situation. When you order the kit let them know you need longer U bolts to contain your overloads.

You definitely want to go with KORE/Carli/Thuren.

On KORE's website they have a listing of all their vendors. You can purchase from them as well.

Yeah its the same, Lorenz tends to be the most expensive of the three. Carli sells only a levelling kit but they only go through distributors so they dont have the price on their website. Im looking around to see if I can find it

at poly performance the carli coils alone are $440 so I would imagine it would be cheaper too just go with the kore leveling kit

You can order direct from Carli. The leveling system is new to the line up so to speak. Could've in the past ordered each part seperate to make the leveling kit (now it's packaged).

The components offerings are the same, but coils in each of systems are different rates and that makes a difference in the ride. The end link makeup is different between the three. The Bilstien 5100's that come in each might be valved a bit different to go w/ the coil rate (you can only do so much w/ the 5100's).

If you go w/ the mini leafs also. They are tad different in spring rates. The rear ride makes a lot of difference in a truck ride.

this is what I was referring to

personally..i think that KING coil overs are of higher quality then fox racing shocks

i also think the spisrson kit is more thorough as they thouroughly address the steering as part of the kit

Oh I didn't think you could order direct from carli. Yes the leveling kit is new to their lineup and I think each of the three come with different brands of shock. Racerunner I believe for lorenz, king shocks for carli and bilsteins for kore

the ones i looked at all had bilsteins 5100's.

only difference i noticed was Carli came with, Stainless Sway Bar End Links With F.K. Bearings. and their level kit says 2.75"
