    That quote was through accutune. And I say custom tune loosely. He has base tunes for different uses and locations and tweaks that for the weight of my vehicle and whatnot. If I can get these tires sold im gonna start ordering some things

    On another note, would 2" stroke air bumps be enough for what I'm doing?

    Screw fox, enjoy your rust buckets. Go with Kings dude. I got that exact pair you had for $990 shipped. Plus, the spring rate is already done for you because we have the same truck haha. Mark has Foxes and he wishes he had Kings. Filthy motor sport is where I got them.

    2" bump probably fine if you keep them at 2". I'd still prefer the 4" incase you need adjustments or whatever. Profender has some good bumps at a hell of a price. I was going to go with them, but Mark sold me his.

    As dumb as it sounds, blue coilovers would look ridiculous unless I changed all my green to blue.

    As far as bumps, how is the price difference between 4's and 2's. I know the fox 2's ran about $200 each

    You could cheap out and use a poly bump, or do you just want air bumps.

    I want to do air bumps. Poly would work but if I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do everything.

    That's a really good deal.

    I haven't had Fox or King coil-overs, but I can say that my Radflo's I got from Brian at 4 Wheel Underground are awesome! I got a set of 12" 2.0 non-resi with his "custom" tune and his choice of PAC springs for around $900 shipped. Hell, they were even charged with Nitrogen when they got here. I'd highly recommend looking into this option.

    Indeed, they ride and perform very well right out of the box. I had to make a spring rate change on the passenger side because of a 200# weight difference from the driver side, but other than that I couldn't have asked for a better set of tuned coil-overs right out of the box.

    I'm sure they could perform even better with some expert tuning, but I'm not going to bother with it, at least not anytime soon.

    Brake splash guard, yes or no?

    Opinions?

    I am anticipating getting this thing in mud and creek crossings, and am torn about cleaning the old ones up or not running them at all. 72712c72730dd5d081ba1291b4699c70_0444fcce027efa1e1c2511acdaefbf74c41bbcb0.jpg

    No to the guard, however it acts as a spacer so you'll need to cut the center part out or buy the one from TG.

    That's the backing plate eliminator kit from them right?
    Edit: Sweet, I already have it.

    Creepies did work today. I'm very happy, @Supra TT you must have had a defective set haha. Even did some slow crawling on some wet rocks and walked right up when others were having to bump and throttle up

    Lets get a tech question going:
    What does this sensor do on the high pressure line coming out of the PS pump? Will it throw a code if its not connected? I'm replacing it with a 17mm to -6 JIC adapter for my ps hoses, and i cant be throwing codes since the truck needs to get smogged in august.
    20160306_173803_zps49xmfkh7_285d83cd2d7d6407dc4d880478b596e478741d9e.jpg

    If it throws some sort of a separate light for the steering system, i don't care about that.

    It's the idle up sensor, when turning it'll kick the rpms up a few to help spin the pump faster. No light comes on from disconnecting it. Removed all of my lines for the PSC kit.
