Oh yeah, I definitely agree dakkkota, I'm supposed to help him use my truck to take pics and video for install instructions and I want to shoot some vid off road for you guys too. I'll be on spring break so I should have time to do that.

I just hope the road test will be really aggressive to know what is good and what is not... Like if you jump it will the upper arms hit the coil or the coil will use a strap like ram runner 2011. Will this kit will run good on the street, Rock crawling, Flexing suspension at really slow speed. Anti axles wrap bracket option stering stabilizer shock (dual if possible) good beefy coilover up front... ajustable rear like ransho 9000.Heim tie rod end remplacements. ball bearings or needles bearings on swaybars...i curious what the 4000$ kit will be.

me i am looking in a kit like prerunner Ford raptor...or ram runner 6'' lift and 12+travel.

did everyone ask all the questions they needed from the guy at jack my ride? nows the time to inform him of everything you know about whats needed for the lift and to inform them of known problems. ive been keeping an eye on the blog and havent seen any posts for a day or 2..id figured that comment section would have blown the heck up already

Oh, don't worry, I'm going to be doing the full test with the kit and its an understatement to say that I'm going to test the F**K out of it!!! I want you guys to compile a list of all the things you can think of me to do with this kit and I will take a couple buddies out with me to shoot video and pics of it. I will start small and progress (to a certain point, I don't want to wreck my truck). I've had my stock suspension airborn and romped the sh*t out of it before so I should be able to tell a difference. I'm starting to get pretty excited about this! Put together a detailed list of tests so I can print it out and test them all.

lol use a ramp to test front and rear flex...

jump it and see if anything broke

try flexing full turn to any position possible while flexing the front on both side...and if you need spacers tell us exactly what is the perfect offset for clearance issues.

take this truck in deep mud im cusious if it will be as bad as mine! and ask them to fabricate a good leveling kit for fuel tank!!!

Sounds good so far guys. The only thing I will have trouble with is mud. It's raining this weekend but will likely be dry by next weekend. Let's hope not
