    Right now I just got the tc sua. I got it in part as I don't know when I would go to the west coast and fab shops up here only know the basics so I wanted a decent bolt on kit for now. I'm thinking that I would go with giant motor sports down the road if j ever go out west.

    I'm not quite done yet, still need to do the suspension and the rest of the body. Would anyone be interested in clothing with this on it? Hats, shirts, sweatshirts, etc? Any suggestions are welcome.

    I always get it mixed up and refer to their 64" kit as the "link killer" is probably skip the giant shocks.


    @jeffz0rz id never recommend the dd link kit. It's cool in threory, but the shocks never work right and the pinion angle change is horrible

    Anyone here have a short bed with dmz's kit on it? i was hoping someone could help me out, and measure the length of the shackle from bolt hole to bolt hole?

    Just got my dmz kit in but I'm 95% sure that they are the slightly longer shackles for the long beds. Just wanted to verify before I talk to Tim tomorrow.

    Put a pic of the shackle piece up. You can usually tell by just eye balling it,.
