I'm going to replacing the majority of the front end components as they are original to the vehicle and it has 150,000 miles! Can't believe the previous owners never did! Lol anyway if I'm in there might as well throw the lift on while I'm at it so I thought I would ask y'all some questions and see how you are liking your setup. Soooo,

What brand of lift are you running?

What are your likes and dislikes thus far?

What struts are you running and how does the ride feel vs stock?

Was looking at some Sensen struts originally.

Thanks in advance for all your intel! [emoji482]

Only a very few ways to go really Either OME or JBA lift
Skyjacker/ Rustys springs are rated the same as stock
BDS while they have good springs only come with rear shocks which are junk and no front " shocks "
I've installed one Rustys , sagged back to stock in one year
One BDS but used Bilstien shocks all around
Two have been Ironman ( no longer available )
Rest of the over 30 left were OME except my two JBA adjustable coilovers

On my 04 I ran OME 927 / 948 combo with Rancho RSX shocks great ride and handling but the RSX line no longer available.
Also ran OME 790 / 948 combo , then tested the Ironman HD ( with some extras ) then finally went to the JBA adjustable coilovers
On the 03 I have the Total Control shocks from JBA, ( all 4 are adjustable for compression and rebound, fantastic set up.

As far as ride the Bilstein or the OME shocks ride real close to one another
some prefer one over the other though.

As far as Senson shocks I would stay with OME or Bilstein, better shocks

As far as ride, any thing is better than stock, I liked the ride of the 927/948s and also the 790/948, but had a lot of heavy skids, rock rails , bumper etc to weith them down. Hands down the best ride is what I currently run on the 03


BY THE WAY WE DO HAVE A LIFT SECTION :icon_razz::gr_grin:
