Well all depends on what your going to be using your truck for. Theres alot to consider when doing something like this such as what are you going to be using your truck for, tire size, your fab skills, etc..... Theres no define answer to this but reading build threads should help you out and along with this link from our tech. library.

Im going to be running coils when I do mine, told its alot better ride. Im also going to be using longarms too for my sawp (ya I paid the money for them $$$$) but in th end I see it as its worth it.
