    Ya but i cant find switchback around here, i stocked up when i was in killington a month ago and brought some home, i like the shed alot also. Vermont has the best beer, i think i spent like $80 on beer that weeked lol. Blackberry wheat is probably my favorite summer time beer. Good luck on the lift install!

    Sorry for derailig your thread randy, alright back on topic. Anyone here running dakars with shocks other than nitrochargers? Something with more travel? Just looking for opinions on what would be a good shock to go with.

    Seeing the third gen section forced me to get a Ford...
    ordered the nitrocharger sport shocks front/rear, 886 coils, trim packers, and the icon progressive AAL. i'll be taking numbers when i install it all, but i'm already on WE front coilovers w/ 16" 700# coils, 3" sagged AP standard pack, and WE rear shocks. i'm hoping for a much more pleasant ride.
