    I got the 650#

    I don't anticipate running a front bumper for a while and when I do it will be an aluminum one. Also don't think I'll do a winch.

    Aww crap what happened there? Sorry to hear that. I'd honestly be pissed if I saw someone which down on my truck to the point it messes it up. Sorry to hear that, but then again I guess it worked out in the end

    I've had my sway bar off for a while now and I'm happy with it. Idk if you drive down 90 alot but after I took it off I noticed the ride did feel slightly smoother over the shitty bumps and dips. And it feels alot smoother pulling into a drive way that has a steep shoulder.

    That was about 6 months ago when my truck wouldn't come out of park. The dealership had it towed because it was still under warranty at that point. But yea he winched down super hard on the front suspension and it was held that way for a while.

    Initial impression is that they are a little stiffer but definitely feel more solid. I need to get an alignment before I can give good feedback though. I like the new ride height though.

    Still about a 2" rake. I like it. Fresh rubber will be next.

    It must be the shorter wheel base that makes some trucks look bigger. Looks good.

    Adjusted my coilovers to 1.8" uptop whih yielded 23"-23.5" hub to fender. My truck is currently riding like shit. I hope that at the ride height I want it is not too much preload on the coils. It looks like a lot compared to many other setups I've seen. Need to get another alignment after I cranked them. I'm also starting to suspect that it may be my tires......

    The tires can also have an effect on the shitty ride. Once I got new tires and aired them properly it was a huge difference

    I'm pretty sure the sweet spot for those is 2.5" of lift.
