I know how we do it, but is that the shop you guys recommend to customers?

Truck is looking really good!  You look to have a lot of clearance though, have you considered dropping it any or do you like where it is?

[daniresch]

Thanks guys

This is not the shop we recommend to customers. where do you work?

I currently like the ride height it's at, both front and rear tires rub the upper fender a little so i don't plan on lowering it more.

Looking really good. Any word if those tires are gonna be available again? I wouldnt change a thing on this truck.

Thanks! Went wheeling last weekend, truck is still holding up great, very happy with it. The tires are still on back order as far as I know. I would like to buy another one myself for a full size spare and 5 tire rotations.

Going wheeling to Browns Camp on march 30th, anyone is welcome to join. There's a couple of us going out. Some updates, changing up my front leaf springs by swapping out the overload with a procomp add-a-leaf and shorting my shackle, moving front axle forward another inch. Also installing a new high pressure PS line to hopefully keep the pump from whining.

There are a few others but they are ALL made by Coors. Having a best friend whose dad works for Coors has its benefits.
