    Thank you! Those are the three at the top of the list for me as well. The truck is my daily driver so it needs to be comfortable for everyday as well as capable for about anything I can put in front of it.

    I actually like the setup you have on your truck. The Camburgs with the fox shocks and Deavers would be my choice if I went this route. Is there any reason you chose this over the ICONs or the Kings?

    For me it was a coin flip between Fox and Icon, I really don't like the color of Kings so its just preference. No real reason I went with Fox over Icon... I actually had two set ups in my online cart at the same time and just went with Fox and don't regret it at all. I am confident you will be happy with either route you choose since you seem to be leaning towards Fox or Icon. @JerryTaco and I have a bet going .... I win if you go with Fox and he wins if you go with Icon!...... :gossip: pick Fox!

    lol jk jk :D

    So 3 days into ownership... @Speed Freek hooked up the CMC. He does great work, the end result is very clean and looks like nothing ever happened. It was nice to meet you Jason, thanks again!

    ...also threw on the Factor 55 Hitchlink which was used in removing my Cement truck from the tree after the accident.... it did its job so its a keeper. I really hope I do not need to use it in that circumstance ever again.

    Haha, you have a bet going on which I choose? I could be swayed for a share of the winnings. What kind of action are we talking about here?

    From what I gather, you will be coming into town for this? I work Saturday until about 2:30, but if you guys are going to be working then, I might be able to swing by if it wouldn't be too much of an imposition.

    :spy: may or may not be sitting on an impressive pile of parts for someone... stoked for you to come into town brother. Your truck is getting the full treatment in a short period of time.
