    You know this is a normal practice with off road shops right? I've yet to see a single suspension company get the #'s that they claim.

    They all measure with a funny ruler for some reason

    I've heard Giant uses the same leafsprings for all of their kits, regardless of what truck it is going on. Anyone else heard that?

    kcbmx, how does it handle? How was it to tune? How does it handle a load?

    Yeah they just remove leafs accordingly, My kit has 11 leafs. I dont have bypasses mounted yet but the leaf pack is smooth with ome shocks:eek:. I've had a set of 35" tires and rims and the ride height went down almost an inch. Like i said i bought the kit used and the leafs still have massive arc after being ran for 2 years i still got 2.5" of lift or so.

    Aiming to bring top of the line suspension, at a very affordable cost. As well as helping the off-road community
    Lol no. I'm on Toyota duty all week. Aaron is finishing up another Titan then on to the Duramax so you guys will see progress on all fronts.

    So I've been looking into bedcages on DR and I've found a few that I like but was wondering in order to run the shock through the wheel wells instead of more towards the center of the bed like Matts bedcage was, I have to run a tundra axle right?
