    Thanks Ryan!! Do you have 650 or 700lb springs? Also when you cranked your coils up did you just jack the tire up off the ground and then cranked them? I have to much forward lean haha

    I have 650lbs coils. If you have a plate bumper and decide to get a winch I've heard that 700 lbs coils are the way to go. Yes when I adjusted my coils I jacked up the front of the truck and cranked the coils up.

    I won't be getting a winch for a few years so I think that 650's will be fine for me.. Plus ill get synthetic line which will save a bunch of weight.

    Alright ill probably do that within the next few days.

    Oh okay for sure! That will totally work. You'll save a ton of weight that way. When I cranked my coils up I definitely noticed a difference in the stance. Looked much better!

    Side pics as promised! The bumper is a little bent from the accident but not a big deal to me, this way I don't feel bad for using it on the trail

    Since I have so many cheap chinese LED pods sitting around i thought i'd put some to use! Mounted 6 on my truck but only wired the first 2 yesterday to see how it would turn out.. Crappy iPhone pics but they are damn bright! Looks yellow but its with the amber covers on them..
