    That guy also had the best line of the trip.
    Us: Hey, are you bummed about the brakes?
    Him: WHAT? I'm driving an 800 horsepower trophy truck through the Baja desert at 110 miles per hour. I'm having a great time!"

    I've been burned out on the OME setup I had, especially with the additional weight I've been packing on the truck... These came just in time...IMG_3057.jpg IMG_3058.jpg
    Can't wait to feel the difference!

    Not sure how you use your truck but it'll ride super smooth without the sway bar.
    Also allows for more droop.
    Just an idea, Kings look good though :thumbsup:

    I blame it on ATrac forcing me to go so slow! I forgot to turn it off and didn't want to stop cause that shit was soft! Didn't want to end up like that Dodge!

    On the plus side, taking those skids off solved a rattle/strange noise I've been having! I thought my tranny was going out cause Ive had a shake/rattle only when in R for a while, and when I got back from baja it started happening at slow speeds gojng forward. Took the skids off, and it's gone! Such a great feeling! Now to figure out what is hitting...

    Why did you use 4lo in the sand?

    I didnt. I just forgot to turn off the awesome-Trac in High and it just kept bogging me down. It wouldn't let me get any speed. This sand was nothing like pismo, pretty sure it was quicksand.

    Ahh makes sense. My dad almost got stuck a few times before I showed him how to turn it off. Could you have turned on your locker so it disables trac without having to stop?

    One of my buddies wants to buy them (he's not on here... how sad), if he doesn't pick them up in a week or so, I'll throw them on here.
    It is already much better in the dirt, we went up West Camino last night to test them out and even with the #700 springs it was a much better ride. Can't wait to see how they do once I've adjusted them and set the proper height.
    Also going to remove the sway bar today, it is really close to rubbing the coil anyway.

    Agreed.

    True.

    I only got through it at 6,000 RPM in first gear in 4wd. The funny part is we had just aired up and decided to go down the beach.
