    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Niners game is good, too. If this first week is any sign this is gonna be a fucking awesome season.

    Really depends what kind of budget you'd like to work with. You are correct though, spacer lifts have their problems. With excess stress from off-roading or large pot holes they create extra stress at the bottom of the strut which has caused them to break. People drive on them everyday but it would be worth getting something higher quality and replacing what you have and starting fresh.

    That's what I thought. Right now the truck is just my DD but I plan to mod it enough where I can take it to
    Mexico for surf trips or other places and be confident in it. I checked the suspension when I first bought it but was unsure of what exactly was going on as I'm still learning how to wrench and what not. I'm still not really disappointed as it's pretty much like being stock in terms of how crappy it is. Haha

    Old Man Emu (OME) makes a solid quality kit that's fairly priced. Plenty of offroad companies offer Bilstein 5100 kits with shocks and an add a leaf that are also budget friendly. I'd look into that and a quality set of upper control arms. Or save up for King, Icon or Fox :thumbsup:

    He got the spares for free at junk yards. Only had to pay to powder. Think he had a bit of a connection.

    Optimistic brother.

    Thanks man. I'd like something around $500 but that's not looking doable everything is about 1.2k to do it right. The wife won't like to hear that since we just got the truck so I'll wait a little while! Haha

    Let me know if you get the parts or not. I'd be interested and could pay you too.
