    PCS. They were recently bought by a larger company so they are now PCS something but I can't remember the name. If you want my buddy's number you could call him and see what's available. LMK
    Oh and that makes more sense. I could probably do that. I need to wire wheel the surface rust off of my sliders and repaint before the weather goes south again. I HATE painting those things.

    A bumper here, some tires there..... you know, stuff.
    i ran 5100's with an aal before i replaced the leaf pack and they did just fine. (pretty sure they are for 0-3" of lift). once i added the 1" ext shackle and new leaf pack they started to bottom out though which is why i switched to the 5125's because you can pick what length you want

    shocks aren't going to be the limiting factor for flex unless you bottom/top them out.

    Oh alright so the 5100s shouldn't be a problem at all then? Thanks! And I love your truck! Kinda what I'm wanting to do, make it very capable off road and nice for camping trips.

    thanks for the heads up. i think i've seen some job postings by them online but i'll do a little research on them. i'm pretty much at the point of not caring at gibs so i NEED to move on.

    yeah, my sliders are pretty bad. i might just wait until i tear down the truck in a few months and paint everything then. it will be in pieces..... and will be hilarious to see everyones reactions to the pics :devil:

    if you want the most flex possible..don't get an AAL..get a new leaf pack..longer shackles..and longer shocks..

    then you'll be on the road of never end suspension mods!

    already emailed him:cool:

    i'd rather have dual shear yes, but i haz an idea if i use that type of spindle too. or i can always try to convert it to dual shear. if nothing else, the hinges and pins might be worth it..... then sell the spindle to Mike.

    speaking of swing out's, i'll probably pick up all the steel i'll need for it with the steel for Gage's bedrack :spy:

    Hey. I'm looking at getting a set of 2nd gen sr5 wheels like yourself, and it's clear with a bit of looking around that I'm going to need spacers. I'm wondering what size spacers you're running at the moment, and how far out they push the wheels.

    ^ this. i'm running spidertrax 1.25". so far i'm happy with them and no issues.
    with 285's the spidertrax put me right about even with the fender flares, maybe just a bit wider. i'll see if i can dig up a pic for you.
