    Typically only passenger side cause that's the side on te rougher edge of the road, more debris on the passenger side then drivers side of a road

    ok, so my leaf springs are pretty wore out, and with the weight i had in there this winter they are sagging quite a bit from stock height. so come spring/summer i will have to adress that issue, and instead of stock replacement, may as well upgrade right? I know i said i was going to hold off on mods, but since they gotta be replaced anyways im gonna do it right the first time.

    going to go with Giant motorsports 64" kit. will get me 21" of travel.

    everything needed is provided in the kit. so it will just be removing old parts, and replacing.

    just instead of putting the springs over, you put em under.

    yep. wildpeaks are amazing man. such a great tire. ill never run anything else on a daily driver. right up there with duratracs.and yes, ive driven on duratracs quite often lol. brothers 2wd checy has em.

    now, if i was to build up an offroad rig, id go with some mud tires. but for a daily driver/weekend warrior, nothing but wildpeaks for me.

    yeah right now its a toss up between the wildpeaks and duratracs. which ever is cheaper.

    are you going to do any mods to the front suspension?

    for now i wont be touching the front end. probably not till the next spring/summer. depends what happens with my job (promotion, or not)

    trying to save up to buy some land to build a house on. so im not doing any unnecessary mods right now.

    had some fun today


    hit it up at 720P.

    Snow Fun - That's Country Brian Davis - YouTube

    first drift, about 3-4'

    second one right after it is only about 1'

    the second part where im going down that road, its about 1' deep, then mostly clear road till I get by the train tracks. boom, stopped dead lol. frozen drift underneath the new loose snow from when they cleared the train tracks a few weeks ago. no way in hell i was getting past it.
