Has anyone ever put their own lift kit together simply because they didnt want the shocks that came with the kit? say you wanted Bilsteins instead of the rough countries?

Or is it simpler to buy the kit, and the new shocks and sell off the shocks you dont want from the kit?

With top gun customz you can replace Bilsteins in the lift kits. You might also check with some vendors here, they may be able to hook up a deal for ya.

i think that the lift on ramhunter's previous mega cab was more or less custom.

It is especially helpful to mix and make it custom with jeeps.

shocks can be bought separately and almost every lift kit will sell without shocks. at least jeep kits that is. just ask.

I would hook up with MPC and see what they can do on a lift
I know someone who just bought a RC lift with bilstiens from TGC for an 11 2500 so it is possible, I just dont like TGC
