    you shouldn't need extended brake lines unless you get longer shocks. shocks determine what travel will be. Leafs handle loads

    Getting 30 mpg on the highway

    Use the stock bottle jack (or any bottle jack) wedged against the frame to align the bolt holes. (Does that make sense?)


    And the lift height :D

    Too many to list now.
    ^but still being limited in the same place by the shop negates the need since the travel remains the same.

    I need to find somewhere to flex mine and see how tight the lines get. I got extended shocks.

    The Russian is about two hours south of anchorage on the sterling highway. There's been really good fishing so far this summer, I'm headed down in an hour to hopefully get a few more with my dad.

    I went to Seward Friday night to try my hand at snagging and got skunked. Drove to the russian that night and it started pouring right after we got there. Napped in the truck for a few but the rain never went away.
