i wish it was next monday..im aiming to be done with the lift by the end of next tuesday

eventualy im going to build a dakota bastard back for the rear to get rid of the aal...im thinking about maybe staying a 3 inch and running 33s.after i kill these all terrains
good plans. Im probably going to wait on getting gears after i get my 33s and buy new leaf packs first. mine are shot the AAL only solved the sag. didnt gain me my lift back
