nice.. thats good info.. i would love to be able to get my hands on that write up..

and about those shoks, have you put them on? or have you heard that?.. i wonder if that would lift the back up a little bit as well.. i too want to put a block in the back to keep a slight rake..

what tires and size did you go with?.. i think im going to do the 305/55/20 cooper zeons..

Well I ended up having the spacers put on with the longer shocks, and I don't know of anyone with those shocks but honestly, I cannot see how they would give you that much because your spring can only get so long? I would take the spacer route.

The blocks are super easy to do, you just need 4 longer ubolts. I paid 12.50 each for them, coming to $50 for them, and $25 for the blocks. The 3" spacers along with 1 1/2" blocks gave me a higher truck with the rake look. I might would go with 1" blocks tho?

And I have the stock tires, I'm waiting till 30K miles to get new ones. I will buy the Nitto Terra Grapplers though, I am set on that. They look great and have an awesome tread life.

Well long story. My entire family (I mean entire, dad brother 3 uncles 7 cousins, on and on) are firemen, dad and 2 uncles being chiefs. During high school I volunteered, joined Shreveport's for a year, then decided to go back to Med School and I am EMT-ing my way through it for a district right out of Shreveport. I love putting wet stuff on red stuff but I found that fixing people is my real passion...what about you?

Well I got EMT certified in high school, so I am an EMT right now working for a volunteer fire/paid ACLS service. Never went to paramedic school, I enrolled in Medical School before I got to that. My dad was a paramedic and loved it, and I will most likely be a ER doc if I ever get through. Yea it is nice going from a district to a city fire department, especially on the pay scale and run intensity level. I dont know about Orlando but Shreveport has a high crime rate recently, we get shootings and stabbings multiple times every night so your station was bound to get one at least once a week
