    Hmmm I can't descide..... The stock really compliments the 2 tone look but the tube bumper really shows off the work you done on the suspension

    heres my most recent delima, so first of all I'm pissed because figures 2 weeks after i buy my suspension a group buy goes on that i could have gotten the rear done as well for like $150 more.

    Second, i got a little carried away when i was cutting the piece of the frame that the bump stops hit and now they only hit like half way on it so i have to rebuild it.....

    heres my reservoir mount. I'm going to get hose clamps tomorrow. but i think this should hold better than 2 zip ties and a wire around the frame?
