But imagine the capability, it would be capable to do anything, from rocks to ramps

Woohoo my header comes in tomorrow! My motor mounts from Brown Dog still say they are in production.

Tom, did you use the manifold gasket that came with your ebay header? I read that they are crap and to get a FelPro. Also are you running the stock crushed downpipe?

Yeah it really is simple. Nothing to do with the lift is really that complicated once you have the parts to look at. Also Rough Country is cheaper for a reason. Purple is already looking at new control arms and shocks to get a better ride.

For the price of an re, you can get the rc with reg shocks and have enough to buy some nice ones. And yeah, im not sure if if I wanna replace the lca's or save io for a long arm upgrade. But even as crappy as rc shocks are, my old ones were shot so it still rides better
