read your own sig.



I've got plenty of credit cards, but sure as hell not going to voluntarily go into debt $10k+ right now. $3500 base price for that kit is misleading.


and yeah, the dual shock hoop set-ups you see are not a pre-runner thing, more of a basic lift upgrade. You'd want some coil-overs to eliminate the torsion bars and bypass's for the shocks if you're wanting a more full-on bump humper.

Schralp' it heavy.

WTheck? How is a deaver spring pack with bed cage and what appear to be 2.5 shocks NOT qualify as pre-runner?

FYI you can get 18-25 inches from a good pack of leafs. Most leaf packs out-perform front IFS, unless you have a crazy center-pivot long-travel or I-beam Ford.\

Damn Craig I was way off haha. I didn't see the bed cage and the u bolts threw me off. Most don't run ubolts like that if the rear is built. Fab looks good on that cage. Clean truck.
