    Ive installed many and worked on them after wear, wheeling, and collisions, they can be a bastard to find replacement arms for, the shocks are hopefully rebuild-able if purchased from the higher tier. BDS is good. Procomp not so good.

    Big thing was collisions, due to the fulcrum extension and the frame cross member weakened they actually bend a fuck ton backwards on a stationary object collision. I've seen 2 completely ruined due to otherwise normal collisions.

    As for wheeling the axle ground clearance is no different so the only real benefit is running 35's which is a pig without gearing. Center high spot is further away which is nice for longer taco's.

    A big flaw is obviously the rear, without traction arms or custom springs you have baad axle wrap.

    We don't have a lot of hardcore wheeler's around Alberta that run drop bracket lifts, most run good shocks and upgraded control arms.

    You can buy full length bilstein shocks for the front instead of spending 1500+ for Kings or icon. Gets rid of that barrel spacer that comes from the basic kit

    I think they’re the best tire on the Market and I’ll be honest I’ve run a lot of tires in different rigs throughout the years my second favorite was the Duratrac but honestly the Coopers are amazing. No complaints. No Regrets.

    Ooo good to know. My father just put duratracts on his jeep so I was between the discover, duratracts, falkens, and nitto ridge but more leaning towards a skinny.
