    If someone is telling you OxyContin will make all your troubles go away, do yourself a favor and tell them to go away. That shit is heroin in pill form.

    I still use some Natural (non lab- chemical produced) muscle relaxers for when my back or neck pains return every so often, they are a patch on the bigger issue but a better choice than narcotics. Ask your chiropractor about something similar, they should be able to recommend something

    to piggy back off that. oxy will not make it go away. it just masks the pain. "pain management". but again, be very careful

    That's a nice offer of you but I think I'm going to go with something new,
    They did the alignment at everything came out okay and they inspected the upper control arms they said there's a little bit of wear they actually look okay but I'm going to get new ones it's not on my priority list anymore,
    I think I'll figure out some new shocks for the rear that's my next step

    How's the ride? How much change going over your typical routine potholes, cracks, etc. as compared to before?

    So I have an All pro apex bumper, does anyone know if other skids work with it? I have all pro skids but they are looking pretty beat. Looking to upgrade from 3/16” to 1/4”. If not I’m thinking of having a local shop make one maybe?

    Don't think so...I have the Apex too and everything I've heard or read says only AP skids will work, unless you modify or custom make your own

    Nothing but apex works with apex. That’s one reason I haven’t got one of their bumpers.

    That was my understanding too, just wanted to double check. I mean since I own the AP skids already I think it would be easy to make custom ones. I only want to do the ifs skid. The mid Skid is doing fine

    Local shop is the way to go, doubt id go 1/4” but with a local shop you could get custom and make em way better and mimic the budbuilts.
