    Understandable. But that's what my toolbox is for haha

    I'd like to get an ARB fridge and a good quality dry storage container for camping.

    The only thing I really need to keep dry is firewood honestly. I usually pack everything in dry bags anyway because my camper shell door leaks so bad I might as well leave it open.

    Ah okay. When I had my cap on with just my toolboxes I was basically level. I have shackles that add 1" of lift and I don't have the AAL. Probably will get the AAL in the future as my leaf packs wear out more. I also have skids, bumpers and sliders so maybe that lowers the front a little to give me a little more rake than what you're getting. :notsure:

    If I were to do it all again I would definitely go with the expos though or maybe the AP standard packs that give 3" of lift.

    Yeah, I went back and forth for a while between the standards and expos. But I decided I'd rather have too much lift in the rear and for it to eventually settle than to not have enough.

    Yeah, that makes sense. Could always remove leaves from the pack if you need/want to while you couldn't with the standard pack.

    Well I'm hopefully putting a deposit down on a plate bumper this week so that should bring the front down a little and might make me happy....We'll see if my paypal gets worked out in time.

    Bruteforce fab. I haven't seen any pictures of his first gen plate though. It's supposed to look a lot like the 2nd gen plate which is pretty aweomse. But it's hard for me to pay for something I haven't seen before lol.

    Hmm, yeah. Makes good stuff though. I was tempted to get his hybrid instead of an Elite.

    Elite has always been my first choice but I don't want to wait as long as it seems to take with him. And 5 other people are buying from bruteforce so we have one crate of armor coming up to save on shipping.

    Nice! Haha honestly if Relentless or somebody else that made one like his was quicker I'd buy from them. But both are pretty slow with production...

    Haven't even had my truck for a year thank you very much! :p

    I think the first time I almost bought one was back in May. So I've only been obsessing about one for 6 months... :eek:

    We'll see, depends on where I'm at financially when he finishes his group buy.
