    Who is the local suspension guru? Looking at the king coil overs and rear shocks. My rig already has the OME coil overs, and 3 leaf pack in the rear, as well as UCA's etc. Thinking I can get away with just coils and shocks.

    Also, anyone have a prinsu rack for sale?

    Depends on what are you doing with the truck? High speed stuff or slow speed. With or w/o weight. Etc.

    Good point.

    Mostly higher speed stuff as I don’t see myself doing a ton of crawling in a long bed. I do, however want it to be capable for the 2-3 times a year I’m in Utah or CO.

    MOST of the time bed only has a little bit of gear, and I’m carrying between 1-4 mountain bikes on a rack off the back. I do want to be able to pull an enclosed trailer (10’ or so) and need the suspension to act accordingly.

    Open to suggestions.

    Id vote kings, fox, or elka (aluminium body) in that case. I plan on running running one of those in the front. The rear I'm pretty happy with my hammer hangers and add a leaf with some bilstein rear shocks. I do some rally stuff to give a idea of my off road stuff.

    Looking to add some bump to your trunk? I'd point you towards my setup. It's not overbearing, has a nice balanced sound, but can still rattle the neighbors windows if that's what you want.

    Welcome to the cool kids club

    Can confirm. They are bad ass, especially the ambers

    uh-huh... suuuuure :wink:

    btw Sinamon says you owe her $50

    This is literally one of my worst fears. After doing so much work to my truck, I'm legit paranoid some dumb non-driving fk is going to total all the work I've done.

    4 days!
    @Beretta4x4 :wave:

    Not a guru but I've done my homework.

    Kings are hard to beat but ultimately it's all about what you want to do with your truck

    You'll want to look at King or ADS for shocks and Dakar HD's or Expo's for leaf springs. Stick to a progressive suspension over a digresive setup and you'll enjoy the cushy, cloud-like ride. Do not be swayed away from a rebuildable shock. Some people think it's lame, but it's actually pretty legit. Rebuildable shocks like King or ADS are tailored for racing. I'd bet a dollar to a donut you'd never use them to their full potential. Just because a shock IS rebuildable, does not mean it REQUIRES a rebuild after any amount of mileage or use. BUT, no matter what, any shock will wear out. A rebuildale shock is a fraction of the cost to bring back to new than any of the cheaper shocks are to replace.

    Buy once, cry once. Do it once, do it right.
    If you have any questions, hit me up.

    This is why I have the dashcam, protects me and makes things simple in court proceedings. And if they are operating uninsured then follow through on them having jail time and other means reimbursement. ima B like 'u gon learn 2day' You can also overinsure but of course the policy will cost more.

    What kind of camera do you have?
    Is it hard-wired or a plug in?

    It's kinda ghetto rigged atm with zipties. its a uiden thing, middle-priced from wally world. The nicer one is in my gtr dont remember the brand was pricey. both are suction cup and are powered by the cigarette lighter. I dont hardware cause I move them to which other vehicles I feel like driving.
