    I'm on 5100s all around, OME 884 springs, 1/4" driver side spacer and 1-1/2" Rogue AAL for suspension, and Falken Wildpeak AT3W 265-70-17s on Level 8 17x8 ET 0 wheels.

    LOL Yeah. I guess in my head I was thinking "why buy a Pro when you can get a sport, throw on 5100s, wheel and tires, get more ground clearance for less money than the over priced Pro".....

    Because the pro:

    - still has better suspension.
    - comes with an actual skid plate.
    - upgraded Rigid fogs.
    - nicer wheels.
    - nicer grill.
    - nicer head lights.
    - nicer tail lights.
    - better resale.
    - more exclusive
    - nicer interior.

    The pro is only “overpriced”, if you lack the money.

    This is coming from someone that also has a modded / upgraded OR. I like my OR a lot, but at the end of the day, it is not a Pro (and thats ok).

    Like everything else in economics, it's only worth what someone is willing to pay. People are willing to pay for it, and that's OK.

    I do long for that suspension, but I have no use/need for it......

    I hear you man. You also have a very nice truck. It is not a Pro but you put it together yourself, which is pretty cool as well.

    I've always wondered, are these pros more susceptible to needle bearing issues/vibes? Or are 1'' lifts on other models pretty much within established tolerances?
