    Definitely agree. If you think you’ll want it at any point, just do it from the get go. No point in doing one shock relocate, only to cut it off and do another one later.

    I’m glad @ARCHIVE has a little lead time. Let’s me piece together my rear end stuff here and there so I can knock it all out at once later on.

    I just tested my Fox 2.5s with DSC adjuster today. I have about 1400lbs sitting in the bed, and drove it without cranking up the adjusters for about 40 miles. Then today I adjusted the low speed (shock piston speed) adjuster all the way up and I was happy with the reduced movement and increased control.

    Haha, picked up a lot of steel, and wanted to test some new add-a-leaves I'm going to be offering, so I used my lil truck. Stopped at the scale, 5760lbs without me in it, 300lbs over GVWR (5450)

    Hammer hangers and Stealth ubolt flip with Super bumps handled it respectably

    Recruiting duty time is up. Back to the real Navy again haha it had been awhile since I have seen that side of things, was out in Oklahoma for 4 years before recruiting. Wife heads out in Sept and I’ll follow a few weeks later. Might tag along on her roadtrip if they approve my leave (end of FY so they’re pushing for numbers but our area hit goal in July so ya)

    I was stationed here 12-15 and now back here since my wife is stationed here. It is what you make it, and where you live plays a big role. I knew I wanted to be out in chesapeake area because it's so much nicer. A little further of a commute, but that's alright.
