For the front, dual shock hoop, Total Chaos UCAs with heim joint pivots and Chromoly stock length LCAs with dual shock brackets. Fox extended travel 2.5 coilovers with DSC adjusters, and Fox bypass shocks for the front as well. Traction bar for the rear axle to control wheel hop on launches as well as added insurance, and weld in reinforcements for all of the frame mounting points of the front suspension from Total Chaos, as well as the big old spindle gussets. Oh, I almost forgot, Light Racing jounce shocks and some nice, beefy limit straps as well for good measure

    Id recommend going the custom route and talking to the best then nearest 4x4 shop you know of and work up a quote. I paid 500 bucks for mine and ended up waiting 3-4 months for it from Budbuilt. Great product though when its finished and on the truck, definitely helps with launching and starting on hills, pretty much any time you would think that youd be spinning tires

    Yup bought a budbuilt should be shipping within the next week or so. Did the weld on version, and im not really even lifted (only a 2in AAL) but all my driveline vibes and wheel hop are associated with nasty axle wrap.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm assuming this will help a lot on up hill, wash board gravel roads.

    big time. you will get an even wheel spin as well as much less shock and stress on the driveline.

    I really cant wait to get mine, i have been chasing driveline vibes for a long while and i finally decided to put a gopro under my truck to see what its actually doing. I swear the pinion moved up and down a solid 6in between deceleration and accel
