3 inch (pick a brand) lift and instead of wheel spacers spend the money on soft 8's and 31's then call it a day...

You know. I agree.

It can be hard to finally make up your mind. But when it comes down to it know one will know what you want better than you!

I think a lot of people also just want reassurance.

I haven't even been here THAT long and its on my nerves. I just pass over those questions.

Hey guys, so ive had my lift on since saturday and have notices that when decelerating (not using the breaks) there will be this almost grinding type noise. It will also do that if i am going down a hill and throw it into neutral. Any information is appreciated thanks

i don't understand how people don't realize that you get what you pay for. it's not that hard to realize a $2000 lift is gonna be better all around (for the most part) than a $600 lift. duh?
