That's the coils I'm talking about. They def look thicker than stock. What do you think? 3" coils 2" coils? It'd be cool if they were 2". For $40 I'm thinking why not. Lol

I have a 3.5" lift and 2" coil spacers in the front, trimming the fenders, changing gears to 4.56 and going from 31x10.5 to 33s. Wondering if i should go 33x10.5 or 33x12.5... Thanks guys for the help. I'd really appreciate the input.

Really depends on your preference.

I like the look of a 15x8 inch wheel with a 33x10.50 tire on it.

What track bar do I order.. 1.5-4" or 4-6.5"?
