What bushings are you doing? I used energy suspension poly bushings for the control arms and are great as far as I can tell. Can definitly tell a difference over stock with the handling. I like r/t rims, what kind of tires are you looking for? All season, performance?

All the suspension bushings, any I can find to replace. I'll probably do the ball joints while i'm down there too.

We get snow here once, maybe twice, so it would be summer tires. I like the Grabber UHP, but i'm really not sure right now. Trying to figure out if I want the R/T rims. I know I want larger rims, I just don't want to add a whole bunch of rotating weight.

20% tint is just too dark for me for the rear/fronts, but I may put that in the back passenger windows.

I plan on doing my Geo Metro's myself, and depending on how bad I **** it up, I may do Dirty D's.


Is anyone running 4.10s? I'm getting my first job...lol and I plan on blowing every check towards the truck.

I can't decide if I want to do any performance mods or not...it will always be a truck, you know? And I plan on buying a Ninja 250->R6 in a few months->years, so there is no reason to settle my speed need with a 2 ton truck.
