Any idea if there’ll be a Black Friday sale? Itching to upgrade the suspension but probably going to wait to see if there’s a good sale in a month.

We don't sorry, those only come in black.
I'm in the same boat as you. At this point, you might as well wait. BF is right around the corner.
I emailed them this morning and they gave me the following picture.

I am sure this question must have been asked before, but I prolly dont know how to phrase the search properly lol.
The guide on the 1st page is useful in addressing wight. But I am assuming different weight distribution will affect the coils in a different way. For example I am not going to run a rare bumper in the foreseeable future but I am running a RTT, possible some sliders and some camping gear during summer time (lets say its extra 250ish lbs combined). Since that weight is distributed between front and back am I going to get consistent 2" of rear lift with C59-325 or is it 327 territory? Variable rate of 675V sounds good but I have 5100 in the rear so I probably should stick to 2".

Thank you! Thank you! Now do I go with a 1.5 or a 2 inch? Decisions decisions....

With any weight, to keep 2" you'd be better off with the 327s. Roof rack weight is more so over the rear axle, especially a RTT.

Mike- To ask a question very similar to the guy a couple posts up, I've got an '07 V6 4x4 I'm planning on buying a full set of shocks and springs for. I'm looking to get a 2 inch lift in the front and 1.5 in the rear. My question is whether I should get the stock or heavy front end load spring rates. I have stock bumpers, but around 100 pounds of skids from the front to a bit past the transfer case, as well as just under 100 lbs for my rock sliders. Nothing else that adds any significant weight. I don't want to go over 2 inches in the front as I'm trying to avoid having to purchase the UCAs and the diff drop for the time being.
Also, do most people get the spacers to correct the lean, or does this vary too much from truck to truck to say for sure?
Thanks for your time, I'm super excited to get this installed on my truck!

300s would be a bit under 2" with the weight and 302s would be just under 2.5", so you'd have to decide between those too.
Yeah most 4th gen guys add a spacer to the driver's side
I pulled the trigger on a set of C59-314s and C59-505s in black along with the Dobinsons upper control arms. This is for a 2004 V8 Limited model. Got all the black friday pricing and a great deal on shipping through Main Line Overland. Matt there answered all my questions. I'm looking forward to the new lift!
