    I have two 7 lb. dogs so I am not worried about tearing. I am more concerned with staining with the kids than anything

    SAND I was hoping I could some info on your wheels. I have 16" rim right now 4x4 4cyl. Looking at going up to 17 to copy you ( not going to lie, you talked me into it. ) What is the backspacing and offset to make it fit correctly? I am new the whole rim thing. just want to make sure I order the right ones.

    I must say, your truck is effing hawt and tastefully done! Before buying my truck I had been lurking around on the forum for ideas and doing my homework before purchasing my truck. And I gotta be honest, seeing your build thread is the reason I went with MGM! Much props to you sir!

    I think I may want to go the RCD route. Have you had any issues? Squeaks, vibes... You've had the kit for about a year right?

    No issues besides a slight shudder at take off. I got a beefed taco carrier bearing bracket and it is unnoticeable now. Very happy with the lift since it is a daily driver. It rides light years better than stock, maintains cv joint angles, is just the right amount of lift and tire, and offroads extremely well. It's not a hard core rock crawler or desert banzai truck but it does everything well.
