    So far a 2" level lift and complete mossy oak seat covers...(as of may 2019....took the coverkings seat covers off and returned them cause they fell apart less than 6 months old...having a apholstry shop do them.) Just bought mickey Thompson's rims offset -22 8X16...not on yet. Plus I have a 1985 with a 10" lift. 42,495 miles. NOT FOR SALE...lol
    This is huge for me. The carbon Nylon vs. 6160 T6 billet aluminum. But suppose to be 10 or 100xs stronger than steel. All that flashes in my mind with nylon is the hockey pucks that was used for body lifts in the 80s and they fell out in 2 years. So which is better and is there any issues with these parts not only the diff but anywheres?? Any vibration with carbon nylon???...Thank you everyone!!!!!
