    Because you're claiming something putting a false narrative to a public forum without explaining your position lol. If you can't explain your position, then your opinion is moot.

    Except you're nobody to tell anyone what their opinions are worth. If you want reasons why the 1st gen is superior to the 2nd gen, use the search function and you'll see countless posts on the subject. Also it's a FACT that the 1st gen is superior :thumbsup:

    I own both, and the 2nd gen is a far better daily driver. Much more comfortable, just as reliable, similar mileage, enough creature comforts without being over the top, etc. etc.

    Doesn't put a smile on my face like the 1st gen though.

    Wouldn't matter which brand 6" DB he have. Still a drop bracket lift, but if you want to know what he has, it's a fabtech.

    Don't worry, one day you'll mature into an adult and you'll learn to get over things. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

    Are you saying you can't go back to stock after using a drop bracket lift? This is the first I hear about it.

    Aww jeez guyz.


    A 6" lift has a 99% chance of being a drop bracket. If it's not a DD, I'd start looking for a new cross member and start the process of getting rid of the DB. Nothing wrong with getting a second gen either. Kinda wish I had both.

    2nd Gen you can't lose. You will be upgrading on many levels and keeping or even gaining some mpg. If you have the opportunity to, you won't be regretting it.

    Your post earlier stated to remove some bolt and take stuff off. Trying to figure how this is possible, by bolting stuff back on.
