    A few tweaks
    You know, after looking at current prices, I may retract my statement above. I'm cheap, so if I hadn't won one I still wouldn't own one.....

    I do love it though!

    Holy crap! $715! They are very proud of those things. I owned one of the original versions and at the time I thought it was expensive at 1/3 of that. Wow.

    Its time to replace the stock springs. Are OME springs the way to go, or should I be looking for something else?

    @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc if I buy a set of 8 leaf springs can I use the stock shackles and which shocks do you recommend?

    Hey Clay,
    So correct, our 8 leafs would work with your stock shackles. But we just sold our last set of those leaf springs and are currently in-between manufacturers to get them made up again. Too many quality control issues with our previous manufacturer. :notsure:
    Old Man Emu leaf spring are the most affordable on the market and you can experiment with them if you would like to get certain lift heights. A nice and flexible leaf spring that rides nice and can handle some weight.

    It will if you take your time and measure 10 times before you cut!

    We both know there is plenty of trucks the same color floating around. That might be a good thing in this case.
