    one other thing to consider.. if you are really into the ride quality and clean feedback, then i would highly recommend a set of Hammer Hangers since you're already attending to that part of the truck. those hangers will change your ride quality and integrity something fierce.

    That's why I bought mine. Was swapping in new leafs and discovered my passenger side was bent as shit from coming down on a rock at some point.

    Very much so. The ass end of my truck feels much more planted while going over bumpy parts of the road. Then I built the cross bar and it improved it even more.

    Changing rear brake lines are just like the fronts? Pull the lines, slap on the new ones and bleed um?

    i like the crossbar but I'm not willing to relo the spare yet. but these take all the cheap feel right out of the truck never to return.

    I’ve been doing research on it. I was saving for gears but this will be the next purchase for sure.

    I would likely be the same way if I were you. I have my spare on a swingout though so it was a no brainer for me. Especially because I had all metal laying around so it cost nothing to make the bar.

    and yes it's true that the bar is seriously cool looking too. i want it, but i see that keeping my CoG low is a better handling choice than the bar. otherwise i would have already relo'd the spare. I'm on highway 98%.

    Front OEM brake lines are long enough for ADS extended travel
