    How are you supposed to fit any free candy in your windowless van with all those Damn truck parts in the way?

    Lol, this is true, but that feeling was mutual, and still is.

    I'll try not to get to close to Brian. I don't want you to think he's cheating on you.

    Maxtrac spindles rather than full OME? I have never heard anything about maxtrac spindles.

    4" front lift/ factory ride, and cheaper.

    4" without UCAs? I do not know much about lifting a truck, this is my first one.

    Yes. Spindles just lower your wheels down 4" by adding length to the spindle. No change to suspension dynamics. Whole thing will work just like factory.

    Here's my 07 with Maxtrac Spindles, OME dakars, and a OME lift too. On 35's.

    They make 3" spindles I think, but yeah spindles aren't bad option either if you want to keep factory shocks

    No lift, rims, or tires like @Davtopgun, but got my rally armor mud flaps on. Yes I hate all mud flaps, especially factories but I cringe every time I hear a rock hit the side of the truck so I had to invest in a set of somewhat decent looking flaps.

    Dude I know the truck is straight grandpa right now, haha I hate mud flaps but rather have them then rock chips every where so I'm proudly using them. At least they are from a company that makes them for rally cars. That should make them kinda cool. And honestly I can't believe I found a used shell in the same color it's definitely worth every penny if you have the opportunity to get one.

    Well let me know if you magically run across a MGM shell. I just can't fork out the money for a brand new one while saving for suspension parts, but I want a shell..

    I thought that was kinda the point of going with the OME coils, the ride is suppose to be better right? I have 114k miles on the factory suspension, I would like to change it all out.
