    wheelers are to soft for the front, and the Timbrins are kinda harsh but they work.

    If there's a flavor that's in between that let me know

    I've always been told not to rely on those as your only bump stop because the OE shock tower can't handle the force...which seems entirely believeable

    I went with the HF jack and I'll have a friend tig weld an adjustable extension on it as well like @MonkeyProof said, it should come in handy since there's not enough extension a lot of the time. If you can afford the pro-eagle I'd say go for it.

    Definitely TC kit.

    Pretty sure it was talked about 10-20 pages back. It gets beat by Camburg and DMZ easily if I remember.

    smashed this, broke that, covered it up with tape and paint
    Mid travel
    Very stiff even with a heavy load in the bed
    Not worth the money unless you are keeping your shocks small and don't want a ton of travel
