suspension is overrated, lock that sucker up and go anywhere :gap:

i'm planning on just putting 3" springs in the front(current stockers are negatively arched and i've got about 2" of uptravel before they smash the bumpstops) mainly just because i need new springs and stockers are more expensive than lift springs, then maybe a 1" block in the rear with 3" longer shackles(leveling it out, stock truck rides about a half inch higher in the rear, so 3" shackle + 1" block = 2.5" of lift).

if i ever wheel my truck harder than i do now i'll consider crossover steering, but everywhere i've needed to go so far(not saying a whole lot) i've gotten with the torque rod and swaybar still on, so push pull ain't doing me so bad yet. i just want to find out where i can get a 3" drop drag link(all the ones i've seen for sale are 4", superlift sells a 3" but nobody stocks it so i'll have to call them and find out where to get one)

good point a truck locked up front and rear with stock suspention can easily get farther than a truck with alot of suspention work and open diffs
(if the driver knows what hes doing)
