    Those look like my @Shmellmopwho sliders! Hoping to add some @Speed Freek installed suspension / lift once I can finally decide what I want…

    He builds some really nice stuff so you wont be disappointed.

    You did a fantastic job as well, I work on lots of trucks with them on it and they are all super pumped on them for sure. Keep on kicking ass bud!

    Ill take good care of you my friend.

    Did another few CMCs this week, I don’t take pics of all of them since they will just seem like duplicates, lol. Also did 4 raptor cuts as well. Makes the front end look waaaay better as well as giving you tire clearance up front.

    Just a side to side comparison of the Total Chaos spindle gussets w/swaybar (3 piece) vs the Baja kits (1 piece) wo/swaybar.
    IMO the TC is better due to the 3 piece design as well as being able to utilize the swaybar.

    The new RGB rigids installed LED bar and ditch lights pretty cool yo can change the backlighting color.
    I also installed a switch pro as the controller for the lights
    Edit: Sorry my phone is having trouble with pictures as the internal focus has gone haywire!

    Thanks again Jason @Speed Freek for installing the Bilstein 6112/5160, AAL, UCAs for me. I really like how it came out. Can’t wait to see what it can do on the trails. Now I just need new tires to complete the setup! It was a pleasure meeting and talking with you. Thanks @Shmellmopwho for the local recommendation.

    I had trouble finding it in stock. I got on the email list for it at shock surplus for when it came back in. When they emailed, I jumped on it. It was already out of stock again in a few hours.

    Bummer. I also tried headstrong, but never heard anything. I think it’s pretty short supply right now.
