    Took second place in the Truck class at the Nitto NMCA AutoX World Finals autocross event this last weekend... no BS!



    Missed first place by just .2 seconds, maybe next time.

    Man google is not helpful. Trying to find a video of someone replacing the 2wd 5 lug lower control arms and it just doesn't exist. It's all 4wd or 2wd 6 lug trucks

    I referenced this guy’s video before my first time getting into the front end. Adding Xrunner to your search might pull up more results for 5-lugs.

    Is this kit good for both lower control arm bolts to replace what is usually frozen when you go to change them?

    Anybody have a custom rear shaved bumper? I think these trucks could look good shorten up a lil bit in the rear.

    Not lowered but I figured you guys would be the best to ask about experience with viking shocks? I'd love some opinions on them, how they handle daily driving, how they doing racing etc. bonus if anyone knows how to run them on a 4x4!
