nice clean truck vpad and nice dirty truck rebel lol, both look great!
-alright this is the last thing i do for a while since school has begun. short story, i scratched the driver side of my truck leaving a restaurant (lots of cars and little space!),exit was a fence that had the space for a prius! so i tried my slowest best to get thru, and it was at an angle turn..stupid, anyway i got pissed, long story short i did this to cover it up.

first off i saw a raptor that same day, and loved the simulated mud graphic, this is my plasti-dip attempt-i messed up but it will do

That does look sick! And that was my first time mudding it. That was 3 passes in it. Wish I could have went more. Didn't know what the truck was capable of. I am DEFINITELY putting my leveling kit on and maybe getting some blocks. My tires flexed out so much they caught the inner fender lip and pulled it down haha.

i haven't had a chance to go out yet, technically no legal places close to me ..i think a leaf would help more with that rear flex, it will stiffen up the back more than blocks. go with aal especially if your going to offroad more, ill be getting some leafs soon..i saw some for like $60 on ebay

1st one is for both leaf and spacers

this next is a general search, i searched coil spacers last time and got a bunch. But you can try leaf spring i guess and look around. Average pack i saw is 60ish but if you don't have spacers yet get the whole kit. look thru ppls stores and you should be able to see just leafs for sale rather than a kit.

i got my spacers from supreme suspensions, theirs looked the best and haven't let me down so far.
