    I might have to hit you up on that! How long do you think it would take to replace the rear leaf's and install the shocks? few hours? seems pretty simple but I learned my lesson when I put on the spacers. Can't wait to re-sell your spacers and run the 5100's w/ an 885 coil up front! Gotta sell some stuff first though.........:eek:

    your truck has coilover/bypasses on the front and bypasses on the rear, it can handle a lot more than you think.

    I saw them on an Escalde up in New Port a couple of weeks ago and they are def made for a bigger suv.
    Let me know.... here is a link to the wheels: http://www.discountedwheelwarehouse.com/zca.cfm?go=zImage&f=Driv%2DMoonshine%2DD225%2Dblk%2Ejpg&crop=0&w=200&h=200&imagePath=images

    They have a little rash on the passenger side and the tires probably have 5K left on them.
