    Jeff Falzone (owner of Giant) makes a killer I-beam set up.
    But I wouldn't let them touch my rear end or anything else that is not I-Beam. There shackle kits suck and are set up wrong like Jason said

    Popped the Nevada dirt cherry finally with the taco. Like every first cherry, it was short, but fun. Had a rough morning at work so I sent my wife some GPS coordinates I plotted out with Google maps and said if I'm not home by 9:00, send helicopters. I bailed right at 5:00 and headed out towards Gardenerville area.

    I swear I went through every ecosystem possible on this route. Started out as nice wide smooth fast dirt roads. People on dirt bikes were pulling out of the way to let me pass. Ran into some nice wash and whoops. That quickly turned into narrower and narrower roads. The rain from a few days ago left some giant mud puddles. The route crossed over 50 different dry creak beds that obviously erode the hell out of the dirt roads with flash floods. That turned into a burnt forest. Next went through some canyons and into some gnarly rock gardens. The last hill actually had to put it in 4 low to get up and ended back on a main road in Carson City.

    Door step to door step was 78 mile circle, 25 miles of which were dirt in 2.5 hours including airing down and airing up and random stops to kick the tires and take a couple pix. :anonymous:

    Nice man!

    Dunno if you feel the same way, But there's some kind of special feeling with wheeling alone.. Stopping and taking in the sites, while "kicking the tires" haha.

    But very balsy. :cool:

    :popcorn:

    Notice a ride difference with the moved hangars?

    Ride is definitely different. My springs are flat so its kinda....bouncy. Once I get my new springs on and rebuild and revalve my shocks it should be tits.
    The boxed frame and DOM cross member really tightened the rear end up too I can feel my tires out of balance. That old stock cross member must have flexed like hell.

    I took advantage of Samco fucking up and ordering the wrong leafs for my buddies truck. He had a brand new set of f67's sitting there on the shelf. Shipping to deaver, rebuild and rearch, bushings, and shipping back was the same price if I include how much I sold my old leafs to tacokid.
    I'd rather have the unmolested pack if it's all the same price.
