    I was cruising behind you for a bit. My truck is out of commission so I'm in my girlfriends old civic.

    Truck looks good!

    I guess I've got to start this very soon....
    First question... What do you want out of your suspension? For example: A softer ride... A stiffer ride... The ability adjust... More overall clearance... Low or High speed dampening... ETC...

    Just food for thought when considering suspension upgrades. Kind of helps with the decision.

    Also think about what are your intentions for your truck? Do you just want a lift for looks? Are you going to haul/tow heavy loads? Do you plan on jumping the thing? All of these things can help you narrow down your search for suspension components. I think with the group that was out with us last time, you saw a good mix of suspension parts and talking to everyone, you can get an idea of what would work for you and your budget. I had a few good guys give me this same talk when I was shopping around for mine and that kept me pointed in the right direction. Of course... It's about time for an upgrade once $$$ permits...

    Save your money and get Kings/icons/fox you won't regret wasting your money. But if you buy 5100's you might regret wasting your money on them.

    So... Anyone interested in saving a few bucks on a tailgate reinforcement? PM me for details. This is just a feeler for interest, not sure if it'll happen...

    Skipping the letters for now. I made my own grill emblem and Im going to run that for a while see how I like it. Might end up scrapping the whole deal and put a couple lights in the grill. Thanks to @4x4Banger for the idea... So any interest in the tailgate plate? Please PM me. I can't discuss publicly yet, but some of you guys know what I'm talking about...

    It is!

    Here is a finished shot:

    I go pick it up tomorrow so the days of driving grill-less will be over.

    Works for me I've been saving for some squadrons as my fogs. Normal pods don't look good because of my lightbar.
