Front sag

adubree86 · Jun 8, 2017

My truck has a 6" zone lift kit with bilsteins set at 2.1. I just installed a Westin HDX front bumper and a winch and now the front of the truck has a sag that takes it outta level. So my question is should I get stronger coils or set the bilsteins to 2.8 and get heavy duty control arms? If I go coils what should I be looking at?

With the extra weight time to look at some Fox coilover's?

I have the same problem. I have a 6" bds lift and when I put my bumper and winch on {450lbs} I droppedalmost 2".I found front springs with a 475 lbs add weight cap that I mite try.

$915 for a set of coils is steep. For that price I'll look at fox coilovers and sell the bilsteins.

is it possible to swap out coils from a 2500 to a 1500?

Probably not, the diameter might be too big for the 1500's and it will not fit in the strut plates. Your best bet is to get Coilovers or max out the Bilsteins

Called fox and they recommend their 2.5 series coilovers. Those suckers are $1625.00 for the set.

how much did your front end drop? the cheapest/easiest solution is to set the bils at 2.8 considering it raises the front enough.

What bumper is that?

I'd love to put that on my truck.

Edit:come to think of it your setup looks just like what I wanna do with mine. Also get some fox coils and beefier control arms...

The bumper is a trailready. Very heavy duty and take larger winches I have a 18000 lbs.The push bars curve to match the grill and the bumper fit the frontend perfectly.Only issure is the price $2400.00.Not cheap but fair price for fit and quaity
