    hey guys can i ask seeing that we all live around here in NC i live near uwharrie so i was wondering what kind of lifts does everyone have?
    cause we here in NC live close to the beach and mountains not to far, but by no way is there anything around here that we near 2000$ lifts shocks and stuff you could say uwharrie but i've been there and thats a it'd be cool but a good 3" lift would work

    Mine is stock, and still willing to go. Our trucks are built to go off road, sometimes better off than full sized cousins. You just need to drive smart and pick the obstacles (& trails ) that match. 3" will get you more clearance for sure, with minimum alteration to your truck. That's the lift in my future, but happy to go stock, as long as I have a friend to help pull me outta trouble if my eyes are too big for my height.

    Hey man, are you having the symptoms, or are you being proactive? I'd be interested, but can't stand the idea of fixing something that's working just fine right now.

    Also, you away for the holiday? Figured you would want to get out.

    Just stay away from spacers, mine will probably be swapped out for a Maxtrac spindle lift once I get the money. The drakar AAL and the OME's are so friggin stiff since I don't have an amrour bumper. I could have probably went with 884's.

    I'll probably do Maxtrac and a 1/4 spacer up front and then do a 1" block on top of my Drakar to give me 4-5" in the front and 3-4" in the back.

    Putting on the new flares, they are a PITA for real. They're definitely not made to be taken off and put back on. The clips are flimsy as hell.

    I need to find a place that'll install the muffler and y-pipe it. Michael told me a place but I forgot what he said.
    Going to buy the muffler myself, so they'll only be doing the actual weld/install of the y-pipes.
    Anyone know a place? Decent price, cheaper is better. LMK! :thumbsup:
