Suspension progress

[Noob2Trucks]

I actually got a decent return this year so I was able to order some parts.

On the way:
Inez 4/6 drop kit (I'm still on stock wheels/tires) so I'll probably go down to 3/5.

Waiting to install:
Core 4x4 upper and lower control arms and panhard bar.

Airlift helper bags

Helwig rear sway bar

Is there anything I'm leaving out? Has anyone installed the front sway bar? Any opinions?

Side note: is there a picture host recommended for posting pics?

I would suggest shocks

I've got the hellwig front and rear on my 2/4 belltech reg cab. Rear is a definite, can't say I got too much of a difference out of the front, it is thicker than stock, can see a few spots where its rubbed at full lock. I don't feel it was money wasted, just not as noticeable as the rear.

The Inez kit comes with rear ones and you keep your stock fronts. I'm hoping they're decent. If not I'll save up for some QA1s, I've heard good things.

Thanks, I'll work with the rear for nor and see how I like it. How hard was the front install?

Not hard, undo the end links at the top, undo the bushings holding the sway bar to the front end, remove the bar,reverse to put back on., helps to have another set of hands lining the links back up

I looked at qa1, expensive, I went bilstein 5125 F&R. A little extra work to fit up, as they are not direct bolt on, but great ride.
