    Hey everyone, just wanted to show off my new setup and give a HUGE shoutout to Jason ( @Speed Freek )
    My schedule has been crazy recently and Jason was super flexible and let me drop off my truck for the weekend. When I got back I was so stoked to see all the work he did! He treated it like his own and as always was great to chat with.
    Here’s a list of the mods from this install:
    King 2.5 shocks (#700 springs) w/adjusters
    TC spindle gussets (w/swaybar mount)
    TC UCAs (uniball)
    Wheelers superbumps (front/rear)
    Wheelers U-bolt flip kit
    Rear bearing drop plates

    His shop really looks awesome too! Great work space with access to everything. Thanks @Speed Freek !!!

    (I’ll have some more pics of the install a little later)

    I highly recommend Jason! Had him do some fender trimming, bending pinch welds and a cab mount chop on my 3rd gen about a week ago. He did such a good job that you can hardly tell he did anything at all! Keep up the good work man - I'll definitely be coming back to you with some future projects

    Awesome, thank you, was great seeing you and Davey over the weekend!
    Hopefully that gear swap gives you some more torque for them big tires!
    Thanks again for choosing me, I really appreciate it.

    Big thanks to Jason @Speed Freek for getting my gears swapped out while I was up in Tahoe. Came back and the truck was good to go, cores are heading back to ECGS today.

    Only drove it home from Jason's yesterday on side streets so I couldn't tell much difference. Definitely runs smooth.

    Jason did my truck this weekend, install of my mobtown bolt on sliders and full front/mid/rear mobtown skids! Also some custom knob work, scary seeing a power grinder/cutter in the cab of a new truck! (Long story) :eek::rofl:. He managed to save my shift shaft and correct the threading, went to town even with a hand file! Couldn’t of gotten that work ANYWHERE ELSE. Thanks again Jason, you are def. my go to mechanic now for all my future projects! (I’m hoping to see 4.88’s in my future :fingerscrossed::bananadance:)
