    I actually like a stiff ride..........wait......... :anonymous:


    :p




    But I plan on getting front and rear bumpers so I'd rather deal with a stiff ride for now than get shocks and coils that I'll have to replace again to support the added weight. :thumbsup:

    Too bad that never happened because the video was lost. :cool:


    I'm really not too sure yet.....

    I might go a custom route for the front and maybe CBI in the rear.

    What prank!?!??!?!?!??! :p


    I got my fronts on. :woot:


    It's so amazing. I love it already. I'm going to have to put my diff drop in though, the CV boot fins are touching either. It gave me some extra height! I should've measured before and afters but oh well. :p

    Here's a shot with the OMEs all the way around.

    I'll get better pictures eventually. Overall I gained about a half inch or so over the spacers.

    Uh! Lookin good there Derek. heheh hard to tell the difference since you already had a spacer lift but still looking good. How does she ride??

    I laughed pretty good when I read this part of your post. With my 5100s and OME 885x coils, I guess I prefer a stiff ride too...?
