OK thanks. I'm running the cheap fab-tech shocks so I'll look into some new ones. I really want to run the dual hoop setup, I have the parts, but took them off because of the cheap edlebrock shocks that were on it.

if you run the dual shocks, dont run a single off the LCA. it will be too stiff over all. I ran the duals with a set of the next step stiffer bilsteins on the shock hoop and no shock on the LCA and loved it. it work pretty well off road and gave a nice ride on the road.

Ok i'm going to check into some shocks. The truck doesn't see to much off road besides the occasional ride through a field or check out something off road quick.

I dunno if steve has any up but look up SSchmi5519. he has a cognito 4-6 decranked all the way and i think only a 2" block in the rear but its got a slant towards the front that way.

Ahh yeah I see his. Without the block in the rear I think it would have the perfect rake to the back im lookin for. Think I could fit 20x12 wheels on 33" A/T tires if I remove my bumper and have a pre runner/Skid combo like yours ? Or will I rub control arms more ?

your gunna rub the back fender under full bump or even 3/4 bump (as in, your suspension 1/4 the way from full compression). you need a much thinner wheel to do that. not even fiberglass fenders will allow enough room

Ill tell you what Mr they look F'n sweet!!!

Thanks for the info

Thanks mackin! truck IMOP is still too tall for the size tires i have and the big fenders but they may change in the next few months. should be able to lower it another 1-2" so the tires fill the fenders a bit better
