    yes, but i just couldnt deal with not being able to hit the dirt like i can in my truck. sold the subie. back to the truck and im staying with it.

    thanks. shocks seem to be working pretty well. i have experimented with different spring rates and i think i have it where i want it. though i have not messed with valving front or rear. any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    stiffen up your compression on the front end, wayyy to soft, and double check that rebound, you were skipping off the ground when you jumped it.

    clean truck though.

    just an idea couldnt you have a thin spacer made for the right side to drop the leaf down like a 1/4in or 1/2in just to level it out some? or would that mess something up??

    Thanks for the comments and advice. it does seem a little soft up front, especially on the jump. i am running 600LB springs. Think i might go to a 650LB. i have had 700's and it was to damn stiff.

    new. and i will have pics up as soon i can. im working on a go pro hd cam video compilation of the truck.

    freakin sick access cab man. did camburg build that bumper custom for the truck or are they going to mass produce that thing!?!?! and where did you fill that at, looks like a cool pace to go fast but not having to go all the way to the desert(middle of nowhere).
