Sorry...I guess I should have 2WD in my sig. Most 2wd guys don't note that and the 4x4 guys do note that in their sig. I wish I had 4x4 due to where I'm at mostly (mid West). Not looking forward to this next Winter. It's stock height as far as I know.

I just wish someone would say...Get this part number leaf/coil springs from this place for $XX.XX and install it this exact way. Be sure to do this and that. You'll be very happy with the improved ride. Also get this shock because it'll also make a difference. <<<actually, I'll more than likely be getting the Bilsteins per Cary's suggestion. It's just a matter of getting the time to measure my current shocks. I'd like to do the springs/shocks at the same time.
I already have Alcoa 16" wheels. Don't know how much lighter in alum. I can get. After the suspension and a few other things, I'll be getting a less aggressive tread for highway use. The tread I have now is a street tire, but with a little bigger lugs compared to what else is out there.

I know that anytime you have coil springs you can always add an airbag...but that's more for drag racing application to keep the spring from compacting so much. I don't think it's the same function with an airbag when talking comfort.
