IHC should retain your factory ride quality in the front (Control arm) . I was on the highway this weekend and noticed the front slightly floaty for my taste, so i am thinking the VAS kit should tighten this up (Coilovers). Rear Flips on both is similar. The Vas Kit uses Fox shocks which seems to be a favorite from DV8DZ9. hoping to ride in a few local trucks soon and see how VAS feels. I dont think itll be too harsh.

I have the IHC performance kit. It is getting installed 4 days from now so I can’t comment on the ride. I chose it over other options because I liked the idea of the adjustable control arms that allow you to get the alignment within spec without modifying the truck.

Unlike their ride quality kit, the performance kit comes with QA1 front coil overs and rear shocks. Both are adjustable for compression and rebound. The front coil overs use a 4” diameter spring compared to the 5” factory and 3” that most other systems use.

The rear shocks are part of a relocation kit that move the shocks inboard and behind the rear axle. Drop in the rear is accomplished with the same flip kit as the ride quality system.

The last piece of this is a set of adjustable traction bars for the rear. I’m not yet sure how this will affect street driving but time will tell. I can always take them off if I need to.

I am still considering adding the IHC helper bag kit. I have a 18 foot boat that I tow occasionally but the boat ramp is less than 2 miles from my house. Once I get the lowering kit on, I’ll test it to see if the bags are needed.

I’m fired up to get this kit on in just a few more days. I can update you and add some pics next week.
