    Man, believe me, I wanna do it. As soon as I get the money I will buy those babies. But I am an artist, a painter, so... it's not really that easy. :)

    Ha! I really like that attitude!

    I've always wanted a 'jacked up truck'

    So, it's almost unreal to have to the one of my dreams!

    Did you black your headlights out?

    No, I bought them like that! I just applied enough silicone before the installation and so far so good. No condensation!

    @ChadsPride quick question for ya...

    So I’m gonna get a set of king coilovers next week, I’m gonna have them set to 3 inches of lift. Will cranking the preload that much destroy the ride quality of the kings? I plan on running the kings set to 3 inches only until I get a set of Maxtracs then I will drop the kings to 1inch for a total of 5 with the maxtracs. Can I put a longer coil in the kings to get me 3 inches for the time being so I don’t have to crank the preload? I need 3inchs to clear my 285s but I don’t want to have Kong’s that ride like crap.

    Preloading the coils will always change the characteristics of that coilover. That being said, many many members run them for 3" lifts cranked and still report a good ride quality.

    researching spindles

    so what are the pros and cons? Is it needed?

    saw a truck with insane lift, probably had drop spindles. That somehow managed to still have 0 camber and decent looking CV angles
    Actually never mind guy has drop bracket

    current setup is 6112 on 6/5 2”
    OEM spindle gusseted

    Given the smallest MaxTrax I see is like $800 and 4” that would be nose high.
    Truck looks about even in comparison to rear Icon RXT

    so I’m guessing the recommendation would be forget about such spindles and do not do them
