That's correct I forgot I switched the rears from 200s to 250s

How do you like that set up in the rear I have seen the 200 replaced with 300 before. Just wondering.

To me it's a little stiff when I'm not loaded down. But it's perfect with a couple hundred pounds of gear.

FYI, You can order the springs and parts direct through/from King. I ordered the upper rear 250's direct from King after talking with Eric when I had the bolt-ons, would have ordered from ORE to support a sponsor but didn't figure there was enough profit margin to make it worth while. Had them next day CA to NV shipping.

Are you doing the DTD or single lever rear?
The single lever rear is the setup I would like to run. Mall speed bumps are killer.

I'm going front Bolt-ons with king bumps and rear lever full DTD now. I decided to add bypasses this morning because of Northridge4x4s grest deals right now!

I purchased mine in stages similar to what you're thinking and it helped me afford what I wanted while feeling like I was making progress along the way.
After I had all the parts to the kit we took a weekend to do the install and did it at one time.
The long arms are still on my list but I didn't want to wait so I purchased EVO's lower control arms. This set up is perfectly great even if I never upgrade to the long arms. Although I still want to upgrade to long arms I have found that there are a few other upgrades that I want to do before the long arms such as a ram assist.
Looking forward to seeing your build come together!
That's what I've been look for haha thank you! This summer is gunna be driveshafts and synergy high steer so I won't be doing the front till December I'll be sure to keep my build thread going and will most likely make a write up for the coilovers with lots of pictures!

Exactly what I'm doing. Added the bypasses to the order a few weeks ago. :yup:
The front will stay as-is for now with King bumps and bolt-ons. The rear bolt-ons are coming out and lever DTD is going in.

No, you have to get the dtd brackets in the front. It's a complete different kit and coilover from the bolt-on kit. You can do it just make sure you do it from the beginning and don't buy the front bolt-on kit. On top of that you will have to come up with a bumpstop solution for the front without bypasses for the meantime.
