    You think a bull bar would be better?

    IMO the bull bar makes the truck seem smaller just because its really thick and the 5 lugs dont really sit very stout. honestly if i were you and your wanting to make your truck look good, save your money a little longer and get a bumper replacement like Mcjosh or Neslahara. you can buy them from avid-offroad for like 400 bucks. and then do a satoshi grille.

    but if i had to choose between the two i would do the grille guard, it gives the truck a little more style.

    I really like the grill guards so I'll probably do that. Maybe I can make mine not rattle and shake. :)

    With a little welding I'm sure it could make it perfect

    I run Fat Bob's lift - short AAL in rear and Fat Bob's shocks. My rear end squeaks a lot! I am thinking that the U-Bolts are not tight enough... I eye-balled the torque setting, didn't have torque wrench handy...

    Does anyone else with lifted 5lugger have this problem?

    leafs have a tendency to squeak if they're pulled apart. Either grease them good, or spray with rubberized undercoating, or both. works like a charm.

    2 questions:
    1. Does the front spring need to be compressed to install the Fat Bob or Readylift kit?

    2. What is the lowest offset wheel front and rear a 5 lug can safely run with either a Fat Bob or Readylift kit?

    no you dont need to compress the spring, just take off the entire strut assembly and put the spacer on top

    im not sure what the lowest offset is though someone else should know
