    Im surprised how well the dakars flex with being so stiff! The kings are definitely awesome, next time i'd probably do 2.5s in the rear just to match the fronts but no complaints at all with them!

    It took an hour and a half to fabricate and weld in that tab with the hole in it? Just an advisement, I'd keep a close eye on those vertical welds - unless it's just glare from the photo that I'm seeing. What are those guys getting an hour for welding?

    2.5's would be sick but they're just $$$. Like double the price right?

    It took so long because had to cut the piece to the right shape to fit in then drill the hole for the bolt in the perfect spot. The vertical welds came from BAMF not Mule Expedition.. They better hold well

    No just $100 more per shock which is still expensive.. But I got them on sale plus 5% off the sale price so I just should have haha

    Gotchya; yeah things always take longer than expected!

    I'm not trying to bash, the welds on the assembly from BAMF look great - I'm concerned by the welds at the base of the shock tower to your frame. They look very cold and don't have much fusion.

    Just keep an eye on them.

    Haha I would if I were you! I just want the best parts possible for my truck so I don't regret it in the end thats why I would.

    Oh you were looking at that top picture, yeah I do think its the glare because they looked strong to me. Also was just sprayed with paint so that doesn't help with the cell phone picture. Ill keep an eye on it though thank you!

    Gotchya; haha as soon as I posted that I was like crap - I sound like a dick!

    I'm glad that the shop seems to be doing well, seems like they've grown considerably since last year...

    Although a HC rear would look good on your rig...
