    What is this? I looked on MCM's site and don't see any first gen rear stuff. I'm not in the market, but always curious for the rear, since I am always looking for something that works with heavy loads.

    He has done a rear relocation before. I'll try and find photos. I think Matt had texted them to me.

    I haven't heard back from him when I requested full info. If he can sell the full rear setup then I might do that and use the TC kit on frank with the wider axle.

    But I'm sure it's a j59 pack but beefed up for weight if needed.

    Maybe Matt will stop by if he gets on tw again @M C M

    You have to be a resident? I figured they wouldn't care just as long as you called. Its just wasteful to let it lay in my opinion.

    meh. I want to redo the suspension on it and the bumper now as i will likely hit another freaking deer long as im here. That's probably it for now. Devin and I decided to just make Frank more comfortable instead of doing a full rig switch.

    Making Frank more comfortable seems like a better plan to me, I like it. You like driving Frank more anyway on trips, and then you can keep Igor clean for date nights! :spy:

    Intake, exhaust, lift. Typical stuff.
    I'm sure the deer wasn't too happy...

    Sorry to hear about your run in with a dear! Noticed you said that you were thinking of changing up your suspension a little bit and was curious of what you were thinking of changing. I've been thinking of adding some Kings and TC UCAs to my front suspension and was wondering how you liked your Kings?

    I very much have enjoyed the Kings. They are a very nice coilover I don't think you'll be disapointed at all.

    I am going to switch to ADS coilovers and rear shocks just because..i like them better. That's all. Matt at MCM has a nice Mid Travel kit with ADS coilovers that have nice resi mounts and he makes nice UCAs as well.

    Costs a bit more. But you get more for your money with ADS shocks too.

    Yeah, I just looked them up and think I'll stick to getting the Kings for now. They should be fine for what I'll be doing with the truck.
