Heavy-duty tubular replacement radius arms mount in the factory location with caster adjustment and OE-style rubber bushings. Gas-specific progressive rate Pro-Ride coil springs provide the 5.5-inch front lift. A precision transfer case indexing ring and high-clearance transmission crossmember address driveline geometry at this lift height. The rear uses heavy-duty air bag spacers for a 5-inch rear lift, with a track bar relocation bracket, bump stop extensions, and sway bar links. FOX 2.0 Performance Series shocks front and rear.
