Why coil overs?

Hey guys... well im going to order the fabtech 6inch kit. Its just a matter of deciding if i should get coilovers or not? What is the real advantage with them? If i dont do much off roading are they worth the extra $$. I know they can be cranked to fit bigger tires but im going to stay with 35s.

I know you've got the money for them since you were going to do the Rize 8", get the Dirt Logics!

They're going to ride a lot better than those white body crap shocks. They're fully rebuildable. They're adjustable. They look sweet.

I am getting the fabtech 6" lift too. I was looking at their website and didnt see anything about coil overs for my truck. Do they not make them for my truck. I have a 2000 4x4. Also i dont really know anything about coilovers. Could u explain the difference between coil over and no coil over to me. Thanks.

If your not going to use this truck off road then dont spend the extra money on Dirt Logics. It would be a waste of money.

Your truck use torsion bars instead of springs. 1997-2003 trucks use torsion bars. The newer 2004-present use springs.

Agreed. If the look of the shock inside your wheel well is important to you then spend the extra money. I have the basic kit, don't regret it one bit and the ride is not bad at all.

A coil over will ride harder you will loose the factory ride but is better quality than a spacer .

Have you ridden in a truck with Dirt Logics or Kings?
