    @jberry813 or anybody

    I just had my front brakes done including rotors and pads. I also got an alignment after doing my tie rods after slick Rock. Everytime I brake my truck pulls to the left... any idea why?

    New wheel bearings were done prior to Slick rock as well

    Would the stock shocks be able to accommodate a 5/8" lift? Or would that require new shocks as well?

    I was looking at the All-Pros because they are on sale. The Dakars are OME, correct? I am having trouble finding those for the 1st gens online.

    If I picked up these leaf springs, would I need to upgrade my shocks for the lift? Or are these made for the same stock lift of the 4x4's and Prerunners?

    Santa Clara is hiring CSOs. They make as much as some sworn positions in other cities. Also hiring officers-one of the better paying cities too.

    Not sure but I think a tiny lift from a new leaf would be ok for retaining the stock shocks. Keep in mind that most full replacement packs are 2"+ lift and will require front suspension work as well, or your truck will be ass-high.

    How many miles are on your current shocks? If your getting a new leaf pack, might be a good time to upgrade the shocks also. Be like a new rig!

    Just saying, it didn't work for me, and most cops I talked to said if you're not going through the actual program (usually sponsored by the department you're applying for) get a business degree or something that's gonna benefit you down the road.

    For sure, thanks.

    Yeah, that is what I am leaning towards. Just have to figure out which shocks to get now for front and rear. If I pick up the All Pros ( ) would I need Bilstein 5100s or 5125s? and then the front. I plan to research more tomorrow.

    I think 5100's front and rear would be good, untill you you become more influenced from this damn site and upgrade to Kings.
