    Thinking last week of April or end of May...most likely April before my wife starts her new job.

    Nice, so June you should stop in Portland and we can hit up Sand Lake with a few of the guys in this 'hood. Actually you should try to make it up for http://sasquatchfestival.com/#

    Wow, truck looks amazing man!

    When I re-do my truck I think I'm going with icon/burgs up front and AP's full rear kit! What's your feedback since you had it?......sounds stoopid since you obviously switched but wanted to see how it performed? I'll be using mine on mixed terrain in Az, so some washes/lighter whoops, trails and rocks etc! I was thinking either mid-travel with Icons or AP 2" over! Did the rear keep up ok with the front and vise versa?

    If those were the options I would get the All Pro kit up front, the few extra inches of droop will help if you are hitting some washes, and at only 2" over it won't really hurt you on the trails.

    and the rear end absolutely does not keep up at all. I think for a mid travel rear to do ok you would need 2.5" shocks and keep a good amount of weight in your bed.

    Maybe the 2.5" icons in the rear with the AP standards? I know they have the WE 2.5's but haven't heard much feedack on those!

    If you plan on doing any kind of running in washes at speed you will be swapping that mid-travel set-up out quick. Wish I didn't waste money on mine.

    Went out this past weekend, everything went good except for the rear. Still waiting for some machined parts that the machine shop is lagging on, and then the kit will be complete and ready to powdercoat. Going out to plaster city again once the part comes in to play around.

    Yeah working on an idea with James right now on it. He has been wanting to do a mostly bolt on rear set-up that requires minimal fab work.

    We are looking at making a hoop/cage setup that uses very very little bed space with 14" Triple Bypasses. Something that can tie into existing predrilled holes on the frame. Needing only to drill a mounting hole through the bed for the shock and shock mounts to the axel.

    Something that would pair well with the bolt on Defined SUA.

    Maybe, depends on how much room we will need. I may have to go down to a 2.0 that takes up less space.

    The machine shop didn't have a part done we were waiting on, maybe next weekend but probably the weekend after since I may have to do Easter with the GF's family.

    I will, but its not a complete project yet. Once done and I'm given the go ahead from the shop I will throw some good one up.

    Not sure what shop did it honestly, it is just who ever The Truck Shop takes there stuff to.
