KYB Strut mounts, spring seats and jounce bumeprs. Picked them up from the shop i used to work at for a discounted rate. When the OME struts/springs get here i'm going to assemble/replace the entire unit so i don't have to take the OEM ones apart at all.

Wow man, I am extremely envious of that setup. You are taking a very calculated, and precise approach to your build. I really like it, and thank you for sharing

[Matt]

thanks man

I've been modifying vehicles for a long time.. so i know the pain of "wishing i would have done something different" all too well. I also lucked out... forgot that the end of this month we have my son scheduled for one week of "vacation" from daycare (we get 2 "vacation" weeks a year where we don't get charged). So with that few bucks of savings, I opted to "correct" my sagging issue the best way possible

Those are nice, the wedding eats all my extra funds though. Yeah in Hind sight, I would have gotten QDII and probably switched a couple things around. This is my first build that was more than just big with mud tires, and I am seeing now how much more thought goes into it.

I got QT2 on accident as well but in the long run it will work out for getting a locker in the rear and maybe a SFA.

I actually got QDII and the 5.7L on accident . This was just supposed to be my wifes commuter/kid hauler so i was looking for a base model, nothing fancy. Just got way too good of a deal on this vehicle (lease turn in)... never thought i'd get rid of my truck and take over the Commander.

made a change.... 245/75/17 Duratracs and ATX Slots







Need to take some better pics and update my first post.

[LWM]

I like those, I am looking for a good set to change too when I wear out my Rubi's

[superacerc]

You'll like those duratracs. Much better for trail riding. They grip really well.

What's the size/backspacing on the rims?

[Matt]

they're 17x8 with 4.5" backspace (hence why I recently had to do the pinch weld mod)
