    Planning on getting this lift kit. Maxtrac 6.5” lift with fox shocks. Will I be needing leaf springs? If so what kind?

    what do you need +6.5” of clearance for

    why are you spending more on a kit without reservoirs when a kit with reservoirs is cheaper


    Why get shocks from a good quality brand (Fox) and then counteract that with a shitty block
    Is it just so you can tell people you have Fox then drive away having it ride like shit?

    No, because they are providing the blocks, u-bolts, and longer rear shocks. As has been pointed out, you will need UCA’s in order to be able to align the front end to oem specs.
