    Oh, and then you have these people (yes, THESE people). I kid.

    I imagine much of my last post applies to you as well. I cannot stress enough how important it is to order your suspension from a place like DSM or SDHQ, talk about what you want from your suspension, the current state of your vehicle, etc. and have them valve your new (expensive) stuff to fit your usage profile.

    Go to the store, buy a nice suit. It's okay, but if you want it to fit perfectly you get that shit tailored.

    I'm a believer. I thought my 4Runner's suspension was the shit, but my BP 51s are leaps and bounds better.

    The pincushion distortion in that picture makes the front tire look far larger than the rear. It's like your truck skipped leg day for weeks and only went with arm workouts....

    I only wish the comp and rebound adjusters could be different. Other than that it's fantastic @live_discover sell those crappy icons.

    Let me know when you're ready. Would prefer to have it during the week so I can drive the roads I take to and from work and compare.

    alex! thank you for your insight . Realistically my truck is a dd with fs road several times a year. guess like going to the oem pro kit route might be the easier way instead of having down time to take apart the icons for new 600lbs springs and service.

    i feel like an old man wanting a soft ride on the road lol.

    the arb bumper is an alternative route and might be feasible when i do have kids...

    Make sure you leave take out in it the whole time you have it and put finger prints on the windshield at eye level.

    Whenever. Other than next Monday. Sext me.
    I have no experience with the Pro suspension, but I imagine it would ride better. For clarity, with an appointment downtime just to swap springs shouldn't be more than a day. The only reason I never went to 600lb springs is because I couldn't find a 14" 600lb black spring =D

    ViperSprings.com sells a 3.0x14x600 spring for $69 in black. But their site isn't secure. FOA may be a better source as they sell the same item through a secure server and you can pay with paypal... not sure about the viper site.

    I'll cut you.
