Today finally I had time to install the keys and shocks. And after the alignment the ride is way better then before. Deleted the running boards as well. Powder coated the LT wheels and used Cooper Tires (285/70 r17) The shocks I used are the Bilstein 24-186643 and 24-187237, keys (cranked about 2/3), 1.5” spacer and moog Z71 springs. Not the best pictures will make some new ones.

Very old thread but these look great! Thanks for all the part numbers and photos.

Can you just crank your stock torsion bars or are the replacements necessary?
