If you have extra sets of stock shocks, then run them instead of buying new ones.

I ran my Hotchkis springs on my OEM shocks and struts for about 70k miles. Never had a problem besides my front Hotchkis springs cracking.

My 11 had bumpstops on the front and rear stock suspension....the rears are under the sleeves...Mines has only 9k on them....(stocks before coilovers)

As you can see Raceland upgrades front and rear shocks with bigger ones than factory which is why the factory stut top nuts don't work...I was glad to be installing bigger new ones that they provided.

Who is on df's with the 08 5.0 kit and running 19's? I need to know cuz I'm going to get those. Oh and will it rub at all

Not rubbing on any drop (DF in your case) is a function of wheel width, offset, and tire size. Which 19" wheels are you planning on?

I'm running the Trd 19's with the 235/35/r19 tires... And ur just the man I was looking for to answer this question lmao no homo

With the +48 offset of the 19x8 TRD wheels you'll be fine, no rubbing.

Now this off set is that already done or do I need a spacer or something? And I keep hearing something about cutti g the bump stop on the df as well do I need to do that or no?

+48 is the offset of the wheel, you can't change that. Get the springs on & see how you like the look of the wheels. If you decide you want to push the rears out later, you can always add spacers.

Oh ok gosh well I'll get the springs on than and post the pics asap

Put in the df's today. Looks great. I was amazed how easy he install was. Anyone running Tokicos with these springs?

hey guys i've been spinning my wheels and was convinced i was gonna get NF's but after seeing the pics on here i'm convinced I want DF's.. im just worried about my rear tires (245/40 on 18x9) rubbing.. will it?

here are some pics of the rear wheel in comparison to the fender if this helps

What offset are your rims?

Wish I could tell you. My customer owns a rim shop and hooked me up.

Based on the pics, it looks like you probably will rub, but a little fender roll & pull should take care of it.

thanks cionide..

So do you in fact need to cut the bumpstops and replace the shocks with these springs?

The1one1

The installation instructions that come with the springs tell you to cut the bump stops so you probably should. As far as replacing the shocks, I have been running the stock shocks and the ride is pretty damn good IMO. But hey if you got the extra cheddar then you might as well put in the Tokicos at the same time.
