Yeah just some $100 eBay specials lol. I took 1/8" off either side to keep them even. Been on my truck for over a year. Towing, hauling and just hammering down lol. Not a single issue:thumb:

Yes and yes. Ill give that a try, thanks. What do you think about the djm shocks for lowered trucks?
I found some 1.25" on eBay, I didn't know they made that size because of the stock studs being longer..I will just order them, I already have the smooth part of the studs cut off from whn I ran 1.5" spacers on stock LMM wheels, my BMFs have a relief in the wheel so it won't be an issue with them.
yea me either lol, I just searched on eBay for 1.25" wheel spacers 8x6.5 and they had em
Lol. What about coilovers on a DD? i dont really haul anything heavy anymore and i'd like this thing to ride nice.
I like how your truck sits. Question, why the Cognito UCAs on a lowered truck? More travel for the shock?
He already had them and rather than go back to stock I suggested running them on the opposite side up-side down. They correct the upper ball joints for a cranked up truck with positive angles on the UCAs. When run flipped they correct for a negative angle on the UCAs and it worked out.
If I'm not removing overload would I still need trac bars? It's a DD so I want a nice ride..I'm doing 3" shackles for now and if I need to go lower I'll remove overload.
I still have all my oem rear springs. The traction bars help with axle wrap and keep stuff lined up. Mine is a DD, ( we have some Aftermarket mirrors on order should be here any day).

I was just worried about it affecting ride quality, I know I will probably need something with the new turbo just didn't want to spend the money unless I NEEDED it..but if I do then I'll get them
I'd recommend getting something to stop axle wrap. it results in broken u joints, driveshaft's and I've heard it can break the shafts in the trans.
Axle wrap itself won't break trans shafts, but a bad wheel hop at the same time as converter lockup will. Only time I've broken a stock shaft.
I've heard both that trac bars won't affect ride and others say it will, I guess I'm gettin old but ride quality to me means more than it did a couple years ago lol
