[QUOTE="PD1744, post: 1789651, member: 39284"] I mean, your situation is a little different than mine, but I'll share my thoughts. Am I still happy I went this route? 100% hell yes. The only drawback that I can think of so far is that I have a set of stock Gen 1 coilovers that I would have normally plugged in to ride around on while my 3.0's are being rebuilt, so in order to make that happen, I'd need to ride around with a lower front end (possibly even on top perch) or add a spacer on top of it, or just drive my other truck if I had to. That and I know changing spark plugs will be a little more challenging. But so happy that my Gen 1 Foxes that I had ordered took so long to come in (I think they showed up a week or so after I did this mod), because the look of these Gen 2 Kings with the finned resi's in IBP is just so much better of a piece of hardware IMO. Plus the fact of what I've got going in the rear now, I'm just super happy with the direction that I ended up. Faced with your situation, knowing me I'd be more inclined to go with Gen 1 3.0's especially if it were more cost effective and save that labor. But for me, getting shock buckets at relatively no cost and being able to get my hands on the shocks that I was able to made it a great move for me. Zero regrets. Hope that helps. Now if I could only get my bypass rack out of Memphis, that'd be cool. Been stalled there for nearly a week for some reason. [/QUOTE]
