    Do you remember seeing the back of his truck bucking all over the fucking place in the Moab dunes.
    When you get the shocks there should be a valving tag on it. If not, you know I got you. I got a bag of shims and nitrogen. I would ask Joey what he recommends for your truck either way.

    Do you already have the springs? You can probably have Deaver beef em up a little, with your rear weight I would think you'll be a bit low in the ass end to start with. Jeff@deaverspring.com

    By the way, love the color matched wheel spacers, amazing attention to detail.......

    negative, don't think I saw him out at pismo, only at MOAB. but I'll ask and see whats up. thanks bro!

    I did talk Tim @ DMZ prior and there was some issue trying to get a stiffer spring rate while trying to maintain the travel.

    On a side note, I may need to order up a set of aluminum skids in the not too distant future. Need to shave some weight off this pig.

    and yes, even the spacers. all in the details. :D

    yea, hoping it'll be done before the year is over!

    Mine seem so stiff already with my empty bed I would think it would be right on par if you shave a little weight off from what you currently had. But then again I have yet to actually get out on some trails yet, just a couple runs through some fields near my house.

    Aw man the pictures arent loading on my computer at work :(
