    To buy OME 885s and go up to 7-7.5" is the question.. Would be put on 5100s.
    Have a little rake and an extra inch would level it out

    want to drop the 5100s back down to 0 or .85 and use the coils for 80% of the lift.

    Also just got off the phone with Billy at BruteForceFab, debating between his front plate bumper and eddys right now.
    Billy explained to me what happened in the past and told me that he's caught up now and has a lead time of 4-5 weeks if not sooner, so that's promising.
    Talked to Eddy awhile back about one of his also

    I am new to TW but not to the offroad/camping world - Anyone interested in getting a meet/camping trip together in NC/SC? I am in Charlotte but obviously can travel.

    go big or go home..


    Also I'm about to order the 6112 kit y'all think 6112s set on setting 4 will give me enough lift to be level if not a little nose high with a 1.5in AAL?

    Back to real issues... What setting to tell Head strong to put my bilstein 6112s at..
    Getting 5160s in the back with deaver AAL that adds 1.5in..
    I secretly want my truck to sit nose high... just a little bit though so what setting y'all think I should get my shocks set on? [​IMG]
    Also apparently shocks are sitting higher than bilstein first thought

    Picked up a stray today at work. Boss made me take it off campus and so I decided to adopt him. Put some ads out on CL and FB to see if it's anyone's but no luck so far. Unfortunately the road where my work is located is known for folks dropping off dogs

    I think he is a plott hound mix.. He's about 80 lbs at least. Such a sweet dog.

    Does anybody have one of those cup holder dividers that they aren't using? Its the plastic divider under the AC controls(if that makes sense) My dad bought a used '08 and it didn't have one in it.

    Who around Greenville can balance tires correctly and will honor their work until it's completely right?
    I've tried Pughs down from walmart, universal tire on hwy 11, both say that's the best they could do it and my steering wheel still shakes.

    I want a place that will balance them right to get rid of the vibes. Any recommendations?
