Called them yesterday and they said my stuff was shipped out monday, but thats what they told me last Thursday. So after I got into it with some guy they gave me a discount on my next purchase and apologized for the delay. I have been fighting with them for the last couple weeks about my stuff, but yesterday they made it right. Im not to mad now ha, just anxious.

Ya, the plasma is normally 899$ but I ordered it online on sale for 650, then I picked it up on labor day when they were having a 15% off sale or something like that, PLUS I had a coupon for 10% off from a prior conflict with another product- all in all i paid about 525$ for the plasma, with a 2 year warranty, and a box of electrodes

So I'm debating between full hydro and hydro assist. This will be driven on the street occasionally and to the trails once in a while. If i go full hydro i can push the front axle forward another couple inches without any problems. I don't like the idea of full hydro on the street, but I have seen many builds where others do it without worry.
The other thing is cost, full hydro is gonna be pricey and to be honest I'm not an expert on it and it would all be new to me. Hydro assist i can do for about 350$ and it is pretty strait forward. I WILL be running at least 39's, the other thing is my Dana 60 has ball joints. I can't find hardly anything on Dana 60 ball joints breaking, but full hydro will put some serious stress on them at times.
So lets hear some input, try to talk me into or out of it!!

assist for sure... Full hydro Will fail a state inspection, just an FYI. I know its not written but its fact taught in classes... But who says jiffy lube would catch it? lol

Hydro will not stress the ball joints if done correctly... just makes them twist... people run full hydro on D44's and assist without issues, even the toyota axles... I wouldn't worry about it, or let that make any bit of your dissicion.
