    Thanks man, sadly Im still quite the noob myself in this area of TW. The folks here though are some of the most knowledgeable compared to most of the other sections. Will you have to alter the front at all in order to get the wheels to achieve full tuck with the DTF front? It looked like bumps and stuff have to be relocated right?

    Yeah so from my understanding at least I'll lose about 4 in of up using the stock bumps but its doable with them in the meantime. Eventually I'll move to kings bumps and everything and right now its coming with the coils but hope to add bypasses eventually. Hoping to start learning to do more of the cutting and welding myself but working 55 hours a week and Guam has pretty bad hours to accommodate lol

    Sounds like a solid plan. So are you getting this kit used or does it already come with everything?
