Glassworks fenders and bedsides. Home fabbed bed cage. King 2.5x16 bypass shocks in the rear. DMZ long travel rear end. Race radio (2meter). Removed secondary carbon air filter. Exhaust dumped before the axle / no muffler. Phram fresh air cabin filter. K&N replacement filter, After market stereo, Grillcraft grill, custom fabled roof rack with 7" HID's, PRP race seats.
    Take off the sway bar! Rides smoother and gives very little extra body roll. Try it and you'll be surprised.

    Some extended travel coilovers set at zero lift, with a pair of uniball upper control arms will do the trick.

    Cleared headlights, Black emblems, Painted black valence on front bumper, 2.5" 5100 Billys front, 1.5" AAL rear, Satin black TRD O/F wheels with 265/75 16 Definity M/T, Spidertrax spacers
    ^^^ He said it! Removing the sway will make the ride a LITTLE bit more compliant, but the shock valving and spring rates don't change :p Extended travel shocks set to 0 lift with nice upper control arms are the perfect set-up! It'll be butter smooth too!

    Kind Regards,
    Ryan

    not enough to compensate for the weight of the vehicle when gravity pulls it back to the earth from its glorious flight thru the crisp morning air over the sand covered roads my truck lives to conquer.

    last gen. was 4" up & 4" down.

    not too sure bout this one though....the 6 lugs have good susp. travel...its just the springs are pretty stiff up front. i think rear wise there's only like 3.5" travel between the bumpstop and frame.
