Guess I've gotten a good little bit done. Got my ruff stuff frame stiffeneners burned in a my clayton long arms thrown on. Surprisingly my upper link never comes in contact with my floor board which is great.

Wow. That's all I have to say. The things rides awesome now. Less sway when I corner since I have no sway bars, less hop, everything is just better.

I love them. I haven't been able to use them in the rocks yet but in mud they do great. Good on the road and not too loud

Nice, Im pretty much sold on them. Just convinced my boss to put a set of one of our trucks. I do try to avoid mud lately, rocks are funner and a bit cleaner hahaha. Pretty sure thats what I'm gonna go with.

They're not going to last all too long but as long as you know that before hand. When I go up to 37s I think I'll get a different type of tire, not sure which though
