hell, just wheeling it will bend the flimsy stock lower control arm mounts.

Not everyones rig is rusty. But some pb blaster and heat will release rusty bolts. When you reassemble be sure to use some anit-sieze to prevent it from rusting again.

Also the first time you take apart your suspension you have to break loose the lock tight put on at the factory.. make sure you heat the bolts first.

Based on the feedback i have heard that, BDS is newer with little review and feedback but has potential. ClaytonOffroad is tough, durable, and built to last. Staangs is Candian and bulletproof, built to order based on price of steel at the time (possibly good, possibly bad). One person mentioned TnT customs...And finally a very accurate time frame on the install time of lift kits...LETS KEEP THIS GOIN!!!!

I'm partial to TNT Customs as well. That belly pan is bad ***!
Gotta give it up to Frank as well. His long arm kit is wicked. Will your long arm kit fit around frame stiffeners?
