Mtr and stt. I've heard awesome things about both. But I think the stt is better for the dd/weekend warrior.

Yeah. I really like the tread on the MTR. It's not a DVD either.

On a side note, anybody want to weld up some frame stiffeners. I can't weld and the shop wants $600+ just to do the mids.

I want to buy one, but the wife put her foot down hard on that idea. I am getting an air compressor instead so I can use my air tools.

Hey guys, what width shims do I need for my 8.25? I'm getting 4 degree, but not sure of the width needed. Looks like there are a few options out there.

I'm thinking it's almost time for a lift party. The frame stiffeners are going on tomorrow. Who would be willing to lend a hand/knowledge? I'll provide food and beverages.
