    I like the generals. At first they were a little noisy and bumpy on the road but I got used to it the ride mellowed out. Off road they work great and I haven't had them chink yet. Super heavy though and have had to trim/ smash a lot... Still rub when hitting a bump

    Maybe because they are the non dot version? The construction is different? All I know was that 35 was heavy as shit compared to the muds the guy had on before!

    Put a dust light in the bumper

    Next is to make new rear shock mounts to get more travel as long with strapping all 4 corners and look for fox bump stops.

    Truck looks clean! I'm wanting to do some suspension mods to mine with icon/camburg to make it ride better also. Is your truck a v6 or a 4 cyl?

    Trucks a v6. If you do the suspension, try to not preload the shock to much. Mine a pretty stiff ride in the street but if I take the preload out, then it would be to much of a rake. I'm not done with the rear but am almost there.

    The pods in the front bumper are from Digidiodes and they have the amber covers on them. The pod in the rear bumper is a rigid dust light. Thanks for stopping by!

    Got away from modding the truck but taking a new approach to it here in a few days. For now, here are some pictures from today. No real mods since the front bumper and tire rack other than re routing the exhaust out the side of the bed.

    Was outside before the sun set and got a few more showing the tire rack and exhaust. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pictures.
