Full length struts or coil overs?

[malamuteman]

I have a pro comp 6” lift on a 2017 1500 z71. It’s the kit with the strut blocks. My truck is mostly a daily driver. I use rarely on Fire roads and beach fishing driving. I’ve been tunnel visioned for coilovers but just feel like maybe that’s a waste of money as I’d never use them 100%.

Is there an advantage to just upgrading to a full length strut (removing the block)? I’m looking for a little better on road and a little better off-road. I was looking at the rs9000 but have read up and down reviews.

Everyone says that the BDS kits ride pretty good, I'd look into what front replacement shocks they use.

In standard form, they use a longer BDS strut.  As an upgrade, you can replace the strut with Fox coilovers.

Not on the 14+ kit, on their site it shows that they come with a replacement front strut.

From their website: Full replacement front struts provide the lift in the front.

LOL.  I edited my post earlier.

Do you have these? I posted another topic asking about these but couldn’t find anyone. They look interesting.

I don,t, but they look good and are priced well.

These are for trucks with 5-7" of lift.
