    Yeah my only issue is where to put the lights. Its too shallow with the stock bumper, you would have to cut the grille

    that's what i plan to do. cut the grill and mount a small rigid ind. or vision X light bar in there...

    you could try to mount some lights or a light bar behind the skid like this guy did... if you have the room and a good spot to mount them

    We had to melt a bushing with a torch to get the lca off and cut the lca bolt alignment thing. What a cluster fuck. And the cv popped out of the joint as I put it into gear. So we called it night. Fucking truck. :pissed:

    triple bypass refers to 3 bypass tubes on the shock... 2 rebound and 1 compression or vice versa...

    no matter what, you have to run a bump stop. metal on metal contact is no bueno. it can be the stock bump, a daystar bump or an air bumps...but bumps are pretty much a must.
