Re: kp components weld in step notch

Keeping it simple usually works well. The truck arms are proven on these trucks. If you can achieve the drop you want w/them, there's not much reason to change.

If you're objective is to lay out, a 4-link (or similar susupension) is in your future. If you stick w/truck arms & are trying to lay-out, you'll be compromising somewhere (or modifying the frame).

With the right bag in the right position, it will ride as good or better than stock.

The bed floor on that truck was raised 3" originally. It was re-done & he might have raised it even more on the 2nd round of modifications (I haven't seen the truck or its owner in a while as he's been traveling a lot).
