They’re the extended ones I need since I have a 6” lift. Not sure they’re any better though but I’ve liked their stuff so far.
Try a sway bar drop kit so links can be shorter?

I also have a 04.5 ' and have been slowly upgrading my front end. 130K on truck now. Last summer i did the ball joints. Go with EMF rebuilable. Better then Carli and cheaper. Get the 09 Steering rod upgrade and a new stabilizer a 5100 from Biltstiens. While i was at it i installed a steering box stiffener. Its pretty darn good now. I think i want a new steering box and adjustable drag link and i will be done. I also have BD diesel extended and rebuilable sway bar links. They been great so far.  One thing i do need i have a 1in level kit on it and the bilstiens i have are stock height and they will bottom out on extend sometimes while off road. So i need to 5100 made for 0-2in lift

Really well that disapointing to hear.  i have the yellow ones now and no leaks. Got probly 30-40k on em.  I hear the FOX one are the way to go. but at over $200 a pop. Not sure i can swallow that.   At 4 months id think they would warranty them. of course a pain to do on the front

I haven’t had any problems with my Bilsteins.👍

I want to let ya all know if ya upgrade the springs instead of level spacers it makes big improvement.  Honestly it should be first upgrade.  Dont waste $ on shocks etc. yet, the springs are the cat meow.  Carli, Thuren.
