Default Hows this list look

I'm looking to do some suspension when I do my bolt-ons. This will be my daily driver and I take it to the strip every once in a while. Does this look ok or overkill?

I dont think you can ever get overkill on your suspension. You can make a ****-ton of power but if you can't get it to the ground......... then what good is it?
I think it would be a good setup. There are a few other vendors out there too.
Wolfe has 20% off right now and BMR makes some sick stuff too

I beg to differ. OK OK, you dont NEED them, but they sure as hell are helpful to set pinion angle, and center the axle in the rear wheel wells after the relocation brackets.

having adjustability everywhere is very helpful. If you are going to spend the money, spend a little more and get stuff that you would not have to upgrade later
