    I would say Avid (thats where I got mine from) but I doubt I would go back to him for anything else. Not a very friendly guy. Prolly cuz im too preppy for his liking.

    None the less, top notch work for a great price.

    Really? I thought Brandon was extremely friendly, and his crew. Hell they even picked me up a drink at QT while he was welding my sliders on

    Well, my guess is that he didn't like the fact that I showed up in my preppy ass work clothes drinking a Starbucks and playing on my phone while I waited. He prolly thought I was some Scottsdale prick. I tried to be friendly but he wasn't having it. So I said fuck it and played on my phone till he was done.

    I still have a spacer lift on my truck and I get some grief about it. It does me just fine for now. I may upgrade some day, but for now, I'm not too worried about it. I think I would be more concerned with the sliders.
    On the trail wheeling. That's what really matters.

    Yea spacers get SO much hate of this forum but you know what, I wheel the shit out of my spacer lift with no problems. One day I will get a real lift, but thats not till my current suspension is totally shot. So far I have done some pretty tuff trails and that spacer lift has not stopped me yet.

    I also had a spacer lift on my 06 Xterra and wheeled the shit out of that spacer lift for 4 years. Not one problem...

    Thanks every one for the welcoming and the input. Ill start with the sliders and do some homework on the lift, maybe some 5100s for now. There are some nice trucks on here, lots of good info and great people. Glad I joined.

    Welcome from tucson man! I started off looking at everyone's builds and most include what suspension theyre running plus pics to show off. ill throw in some love for my 5100 adjustable shock combo with OME (Old Man Emu) 885 coil springs and Toytec 1.5" AAL (add-a-leaf) for the rear. Great 3" lift but to each man his own :cool:
