Just saying, you can get re products for a good price on there... I just mentioned it since you said you were using GOOD products... When people think of rustys and RC good doesn't exactly come to mind...

That's up to you and how much work you wanna do. I've decided this time around, I'm buying everything. I average 225 hours/month and I get salary pay from the army. I don't have a lot of time or money, but I don't want to work that hard on the days that I don't have to work. Those are my priorities.

My lift and tires are on. Not sure how I feel about. Shimmy, wobble, vibrations are good words to describe it. Some of it went away after the worn-out stock tires were replaced with the new 33s. I haven't adjusted anything and the sway bar is not connected so I assume it will be fine once all the details are done.

Get it buttoned up first. See what happens after. Could be tires are out of balance.

They would probably run, stock wheels are 5 in. Of back spacing.
