I got lucky, I got mine on one of the other forum's classifieds brand new for $20

My rear stops need to be trimmed a little, I'm gonna have to add another 3-4" to the extended stops I have for the front...

Assuming the rears will actually work once I get the new spring plates in, I'm going with the hockey pucks up front. I haven't had any problems up front yet but I havent been disconnected either.

man do i feel the love today.. though that was a good picture that brings back some memories of a great day
if i would of gas'd it, instead of playing it safe, i could of probably made it over...

and in my defense:
at least i was the only one to try it - everyone else (including you kind sir and clown & pudgy) decided to go AROUND the obstacle
only person to not try it was Bohnett and thats cause he was too good / cool to hang out with us - he went and played on the bigger dog obstacles..

Hey,hey,hey. I'm still stock. I'm not involved in this battle between the lifted. I just like adding fuel to the fire.

I'm an instigator; not an idiot
I wasn't even stock. I was -3.5" in the back, and I have crushed rockers to prove I did too much that day
And still, you were the last one up, and you didn't tell us you were taking a different route.
