Important Notes
- Does NOT work with all wheel drive (AWD) models.
- This kit is not recommended for TRX models. CV shaft vibration will occur on TRX models unless the TRX struts are replaced with standard struts. Instead, consider our 4" lift system for about 5" of TRX lift.
- These trucks are typically between 1" and 3" tail high from the factory. Please measure your trucks factory front-to-back ride height and order the rear lift height to achieve the desired stance. If closer to 1" tail high from the factory order the 5" rear coils for a more level stance. If closer to 3" tail high from the factory order the 3" rear coils for a more level stance.
- Not recommended for AWD models.
- Stock 17" wheels cannot be re-installed.
-
Will Not Fit 2013 Models.
