    You would be fine like that. My old truck had 18 front and rear and did great. Wanted to go fastest though as it was a fully caged race truck and eventually linked it.

    This was my thought as well.

    I did everything ass backwards. Got the truck new instead of buying one with a few miles on it that I don't feel so bad cutting up. I still only have like 40K on it now. So, cutting up the cab, uggghh. It'll have to happen sooner or later.

    Fair enough.

    I'd double check with Solo, not sure if it matters to you, but from all the photos they're posted there doesn't seem to be a way to retain ABS with their 4x4 kit.

    And not to mention the full engine cage you need to retain all the travel, or the 2k+ higher sticker over TC or Camburg...

    Good points! I'll add one more...

    Or the fact that I just gusseted my shock towers and made an engine cross brace to tie it all together.

    Drive it lol. Need to built a front bumper asap because the stock frame and core support are hideous. Can't decide how I want to do the bumper on my truck. Can't decide if I want to do something tight to the grill with a simple skid and maybe a plastic valance or if I want to push it out a little farther from the grill like a true pre runner bumper

    I'd like to see what the valance would look like on our trucks. Don't think I've seen one before.

    I think I am going to build one, what the hell. If I don't like it I can cut it off.
