    I'll give it to you if you want! Also.. What color is your Civic Hatch?

    I heard it yesterday...

    Its a constant whine that whines according to the RPM's... So it sounds like a power steering pump but it wasn't that becuase those usually only whine when they are under pressure like when steering...

    Not sure.. Sounds like some sort of compressor whine though

    So my skid plate is officially fucked, it's almost touching the differential... Apparently every time the truck bounced up and slammed down near the end there, I was hammering into the stocker.

    Time to go decide whether to go bud built or all pro :D

    Now you have to buy something awesome for your truck....I feel so bad for you! I really don't think I've ever seen a truck buck around so much in my life. That was ridiculous!

    Yeah... Oops. I think next time I'll go a bit slower and just risk getting stuck. Oh well, $250 later, I should have myself an all-pro front and transmission skid.

    Jim, does the all-pro allow for the factory exhaust or does it require it to be rerouted. I know the buds allow for factory exhaust. I can't remember if you are factory or not. Put up a pic!

    Now for my thoughts. I just looked at pricing on Bilstein's. 190 for fronts or 300 for all 4. Should I go for all 4 or does it really matter. I don't think this will be a permenant solution, but a step along the way. Looking to stay on the cheap side for now and I think using Bilsteins to lift 2.5 on the front will do nicely for the price.

    Yeah, I checked, no issue with stock. I'll put pics in my build thread (and pics of the skid plate after I take it off) for sure.

    I would do all 4, although honestly after using them, I would seriously considering just waiting and doing adjustable coilovers, maybe some toytecs or sway-a-ways if you want to save $$. I do not regret my purchase at all.
