    UPDATE 4/22/12

    Finally got my Fox 2.5 R/R coil overs on. I bought these from a member but the coil was after (after) market and had a rate of about 850lbs:eek:

    I sent them down to DSM for rebuild and re valve, Thanks Marco for all the help and input!

    Found some Icon 13" 650lb coils on here and had them switched out. The 850lb coils broke the compressor at a local shop here.

    I went from stock to 5100's w/ OME 885's to these and man are the SMOOOTH.

    Also purchased these ET lug nuts from a member. Super good price too and man they look good, plus they grab another 1/4" of thread over my old ones.

    Thanks man, these shocks are plush.

    I was telling my bro how your truck is THE only 2012 I like. It's just so clean.
    Hmm actually I've never thought of that. I think it'll look good too.

    Damn you now I have to buy more stuff haha.

    Idk haha, I can swerve left and right and make the bumps hit with the current settings. Crazy soft.
    Idk if the paint will hold when I put them on...

    Just can't wait to get my bumper. Plus SUA after I research it more.

    'NOTHER UPDATE

    Busted my clips when I bottomed out in pismo and the flares almost flew off on the freeway so i took them off completely. Decided just to paint the black back on :) and there is less rubbing.

    Thanks guys.

    Cory when is your bumper getting finished?

    Sytfu that demello bumper is sweet. Love the bar hoops on it. You'll like the super bumps too, softens up the hit a lot more.

    Just use the tape method so you can screw most of it in by hand.

    thanks for the tip, I can't wait. Let us know how the bumps work. I'm sure the fronts make the big difference.

    As of now the fronts work great I can't complain, they are there untill I can afford some fox or saw bumps. The only thing is that I can make contact with them fairly easy so I might have to get my c/o's re valved.
