    I missed this... Sorry... I have the DMZ SUA kit with 2.5 King shocks and 2.0 King Bumps in the rear. Up front I have Light Racing UCA's and ORI struts. I'm pretty happy with it. Still working on the valving though... Dunes are closed for the winter so I can't go test it out until April...

    When I first cracked it open I got a lot of water out (a lot more than I got oil out) and just a couple drops of oil. I have a couple fuel filters inline to keep anything from going from the catch can to the engine. When I was changing them, I blew into the line running to the catch can and blew all of that oil out of the catch can. It wouldn't drain out on it's own.

    Yeah. They get a bad rap because I think the first set they did were faulty because a lot of people had problems. Sometime in 2011 or 2012 they redesigned them (I got mine in 2012) and I haven't heard of anybody having any problems with them since then.

    They also do a damn fine job standing behind their product. They've replaced my bushings and ball joints free of charge. I've had mine for a while and they've gone through a couple of design changes to improve them. No complaints here.

    My bad. haha. Not too much going on. Threw some BB's in my front tires yesterday because it was much cheaper than getting those haggard things balanced and I braced my cut bedsides with the mudflap brackets so hopefully they don't flap anymore.

    What's new with you? Did you get my PM reply a few days ago?

    just got a simple lift on her
    Sweet truck.

    question, if you could go back and get coilovers instead of the ORI's, would you?

    I remember reading you saying something about them not holding up to the weight? I'm curious on you're thoughts after all this time.

    Thanks!

    If you look at the specs for them they were not built to run on an IFS rig that weighs as much as mine does. they were built for light buggies. But mine has held up just fine even under my abuse. If I could go back I think I would still get them. I'm still on the fence on if I want to run them when I get an LT kit. If I have the money I may just do it and see how they work out. I really like how easy it is to adjust the ride height for different situations and they flex pretty well compared to coilovers.

    Nope. The 1st one was just a recruiter of sorts whose job was just to sort through a large stack of random resumes they gathered at the career fair. He told me I should hear from them in a few weeks. I think it has been like 2 or so:notsure:

    The 2nd one told me they would need a couple weeks to make their choice and it will be a week tomorrow.

    I did find a job in Twin that was just posted yesterday or today and I applied for it.

    There is nothing wrong with calling them after a set time. Shows enthusiasm and a good job recruiter will appreciate it.
    "Just calling to say thank you for your time and consideration for the X position and to let you know I am excited to hear from you when you make your decision....." something along those lines.

    and :eek:. That would be cool.

    Yeah. I'm not super thrilled about the 1st two jobs though. One is a consulting firm which I hear is working 50-60 hour weeks while being salaried for 40 hours... and the other is an internship rather than an actual job...

    Twin would be ideal because Candice wants to move back that way so she can keep her cattle.
