rookie suspension advice
I'm making headway with my truck finally. I have been researching suspension systems and was hoping more experienced individuals could help. My goal is to handle like a dream on the street st good speeds, not be too fragile that I cant take her through trails, and also give it 2"-4" of lift for that aggressive stance. Anyone have any good ideas? I have been looking into long travel but want more opinions

Well its never gonna ride like a dream. Is it 4x4? their a company I will have to look for it that sell a leveling kit for 600 bucks that include extended lower control arms, new coil springs that add the 2inches of lift, and shocks. Which will keep the geometry up front correct, unlike the cheap 60 dollar coil spring spacers.

Yea I know I'm going to put in polyurethane bushings in and I want to do it right so spacers is not the route I'm looking for. It is 4x4 and I know it'll never ride like a Corvette but I'm talking being able to fly through corners but be as smooth as possible while doing so...Ik its a lot to ask out of suspension but Im trying to make it the best truck I can

IFS and IRS are no good for offroading unless you are into something purpose built like the H1. Stick with solid axles and just get a good brand name kit. Your best bet would be trying Pirate 4x4 as there are a ton of guys building some amazing machines over there. Trust me though, look around and search before you ask, these guys are for the most part hard on newbies asking stupid questions that have been asked 100 times before.

I agree 100%, I am just cautioning you about that site, they are hardcore and they think that everyone that attends the site should be as well. Do not get me wrong, they are great people if you want information, but my suggestion to go there and read before asking is for your own sanity .
