Might want to skip installing the defined kit and go with something else.
Click to expand...

My thinking right now is that im going to get the defined kit installed since I got it for free with my truck, get my bedcage all set up and run this kit for a while and mess with valving the shocks and running some weight in the bed. If I decide its unbearable I'll sell it and go with a different kit.

If I had the cash instead of the kit I would definitely be going with something else. But I only have another week or two in california to get my kit installed. If I had more time I would sell the defined and get something else fabbed for me but any other kit I would have done to my truck would be when im back in town and in that case my truck would be getting worked on instead of being out in the desert for the short time ill be back.

I would suggest doing it the way you really want it the first time, even if the rear has to remain stock for a little longer. Save the install money and be happy in the long run.

If you run the defined kit, mike the owner of defined engineering, said you can only run 14" shocks max.
