    Yes I definitely would build a lift spindle for a 6 lug but I need to finish up the lift spindle for the 5 lug. Then I'll get cracking on it.

    Hey Matt. The Injen one is not CARB approved. Appearently there is only the TRD & a select few from K&N that are CARB approved. I will obviousl "only be using mine for off road use only." LMAO.... I am looking in to the DT Headers though as well.

    Hey Matt, You are definitely going to have to let me know when you come down. I NEED to see that ride in person. As far as the financial goes. I am in the process of trying to buy a house & I have 5 kids & a grand kid. It all costs. All the freebies for using my truck as a model is what is getting me through most of it right now.
