    Why do I continue looking at four door diesel trucks with campers? It's not good...

    Am I doing this right?
    Those look pretty great. My only issue is that I'm going up to tahoe on the 18th of next month and was wanting something then for recovery. Might just buy something cheap as insurance now then save up for some nice ones once the cheap guys wear out.

    Do you guys think a traction board set would be my best bet as far as snow recovery goes? Might get a cheap air compressor as well if I need to air down.

    You can borrow my tiny compressor that clamps on to the battery while I'm on break. Not planning on going anywhere that I air down until January 9th.

    For you without armor, I would say traction pads aren't a bad investment. A hi lift can serve as a shitty winch if necessary.

    I just got full skids and sliders so that'll add some weight once they are all on And I may have bought LCA skids as well... Need to get a Hi lift too. Doubt the stock lift will work anymore ha. And thanks for the compressor offer!

    @SixthSnail, do you have extended brake lines yet? And the axel shims? if you havent ordered already I might give you some cash for axel shims in your order just to save on shipping costs...

    I don't. Not ordering axle shims since they apparently aren't necessary

    All depends on your angle of your driveshaft which depends on the your leafs and your truck. You really need to install everything, let it settle, and then if you have some shimmy back there measure the driveshaft angle and buy the shims accordingly.

    Yeah. And I'll be getting brake lines soon but might wait til Christmas when I have a little extra cash. If I unbolt the stock ones from the axle, they will be fine as long as I don't flex
