These trucks hold up real well offroad. I only have a leveling kit on mine, and I push it pretty damn hard. It hits the dirt woops and jumps really well. (Can post pics if interested )
I couldn't agree more, the CVs seem to hold up fairly well, as long as you don't increase the angle they are forced to work under too much or go with too big of a tire. Your leveled, so you only have what 2", 2.5" of lift on the front, topps?
You go too high or to too big a tire and this is what you get:
Yea, I only have a 2.5" leveling kit in the front so the angles aren't too extreme. If you have good shocks, that's half the battle. You don't necessarily need heavy-duty suspension work to make these trucks badass off-roading machines.
Our IFS front ends are pretty weak compared to a solid axle (2500 or 3500) series truck. 6" Suspension Lifts put the CV at a pretty severe angle, couple that with a heavy tire and a torquey engine and you could easily have a major fail off road.
Dont the lift kits come with differential drop brackets to keep the angles right? Is it possible to modify the brackets to drop further down if its not far down enough?
That red truck in the background, is that Pyro's truck? It looks like it has his AIRRAM stickers on it.

Dude, seriously? Do you even have to ask? Of course we want to see some pictures. Post them up.
My truck has been leveled with a 2" t-bar crank, but I'd love a 4" lift on it. But......there's that damned money thing rearing its ugly head once again!
Why color match them when you can get hideous chrome ones..
where are these chrome fender flairs? i have never seen them before. you arent talking about fender trim are you? there is a difference in the two. i might be interested in chrom fender flairs, cause i havent ordered my flairs yet.
