Correct that kit is for the front I apparently forgot to add the link to the rears. If you do them both at the same time we can do a package deal and save you some coin.

Here is a link to the rear.

Just curious, how well does the Terrafirma 4" kit handle on the highway without caster-corrected arms?

To be honest not sure. I’ll ask the guys to see if anyone spent time in one with just the 4” springs and shocks.

My 3" lift was a 3.5" before I added some weight to my disco, ran that way as a daily driver for around a year. Not that far from a 4" lift and she saw a lot of highway and interstate miles.

I'll say it handled better than I would've guessed. It's not a stock ride, but it is perfectly drivable. The only issue was that the steering was a little twitchy and didn't like to return to center. Again, only very slightly twitchy, perfectly drivable. I don't recall any bad vibrations or anything like that.

When that truck is driving again I will plan to, eventually, castor correct the front axle. The rear I'm not concerned with in the slightest.

When I got my 3" HD Terrafirma lift from Lucky8 the box said 2 inch but Lucky8 said because they were HD springs it worked out to be 3". No complaints. I am pretty sure you could run 33's on this lift

Bought this truck right before the pandemic started bone stock with 59k miles.

5 months later here she is on 33's. OME HD lift springs, 1" spacers, and fox shocks. No rubbing.
