ooh sit coil'd rear... niice, they offer a real nice package... thought about it myself, but honestly wouldnt want it on the 8.25, so i'd rather do it to an 8.8, & by the time i get to that, i hope that my fab skills are tuned enough to build up my own links/truss/xmember

thats some non-sense about that banks header... try to contact them about it? that must of been hard to swallow that kinda quality from a product at their prices

If you're considering coil rear check out Staangs Fab. I've seen his work and its god damn ridiculous how strong his stuff his. And hes very reasonably priced.
