    Solid axle BS thread? I love BSing about solid axles! :D

    Anyway, my favorite truck part so far are my dual steering stabilizer shocks I'm running on my IFS. Are there any preferred dual steering stabilizer shock setups for a solid axle?

    They make off roading much easier through ruts and such. And they look bad ass. Lol. I want something that will work as well when I swap to my solid axle.

    Hah, no. Articulation, strength, and large tires dominate. ;) Truely the only thing his truck can do better is drive faster and turn sharper. If you have a proper SAS driving fast would be no issue.

    Heck yeah! :D

    It's nicer for DD.. Well cheaper at that. And 2nd gens look great with LT, first gens look stupid with it.

    Oh also my truck sits around 3-5" higher than the LT trucks. More ground clearance is key!

    Make sure that you wire it up correctly or you'll have problems. Some of them severe.

    There are numbers on the plug that must be adhered to. The positive must be spliced into a true keyed 12v power source that is not fed by a computer or cpu and must be ign on. If you use one that is just positive all the time you may find yourself stuck in the middle of no where with a dead battery.

    You guys see any issues sticking with 4.10's and 33's for light trail use? I need to find something to not eff with for the sake of making progress.

    4.10s and 33s will be just fine, That's why they invented 4 Lo.
