    It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.
    Already done m8. Hopefully I will be requesting help for the bumper by next fri!

    You are correct. I don't have 4wd so I don't care about lifts. I did a crap load of research before committing to the stock OR shocks/coils. I don't ever off road but if I ever wanted to, I'd have something better than the SR5 stock stuff. Supposedly has a more comfortable ride and you don't feel as many of the little bumps along the road.

    Yea that will be easy then. 10mins to change the back and maybe 30 mins a side on the front.

    Not a good comparison but I had the SR5 on my 11 and the off road on my 17 of course the off road where way better because 140k miles compared to 0 but I think I could tell some difference in the shock:crazy:

    Awesome. I considered doing spacers while I'm doing this for the front to level it out a bit, but I'm not sure I want to start that debate......

    A small spacer to level out a 2wd should be fine. :crapstorm: If you don't plan to off road I don't think it would be that harsh.

    I think that would be fine, probably wouldn't even notice a drop in ride quality.

    Honestly I couldn't tell a difference with my readylift spacers. And they are the tallest spacers i could find. How are the supposed to make the ride harsher, they are just a bracket in between the coilover and mount? Its just like if the mount was an inch lower.

    You are just preloading the coil a little bit, but a 1" wouldn't be enough to make a difference.

    I think 1" spacer = 2" lift. And mine are 1.5" I think lol

    That's what I would think. I'll probably just leave it alone for now. Let me know what Friday works for you and I'll make it work.

    :annoyed: I was hoping to get a few hands to help me do the bumper. But I may not even have it by then with how vague pelfrey is being about timeline

    Well I can do one or the other that night, I don't think we will have time for both unless we start early. Which I may not be opposed to just depends how that week at work goes.

    Edit, I would tell them you are needing it for a trip and they might speed it up
