Parts ordered

I just had to tell someone I got my parts ordered sway a way coilover and total chaos UCA Hope to get it all installed this weekend just intime for my dune trip I keep thinking about how much money it was for no more lift but I really cant lift anymore unless I want to park on the street and get hit by all the drunk kids in my neighborhood driving home.

if you lift high enough, they will only hit your tires anyways...

congrats on the order

Good choice. I was originally going to do King coilovers up front and in the rear with some 33s.

my goal is when my 33' wear out to put some 35 with fiberglass fenders. but well see. I just hate how wide my tires are 325 I think is just to wide for only 33 inch tall I really want someone to make a 12.5 by 33 but all they make is 13.5 by 33, I am going to go 35 just to get a 12.5 wide tire. The kings are nice but 1300, for just under 1600 I got the UCA's too, the sway a ways were wayyy less expensive and achieve the same thing, and are sill fully rebulidable and revalveable.

Congrats on the purchase! I have these and they are the number one reason people look at my truck now. Plus you will have the peace of mind of not having the stock balljoint up there anymore!

damn that sucks- still can't wait to see them when they arrive hey what kind of 33x12.5's are you looking for? my old 33's were the 33x12.5R18 toyo mt's they were perfect- i now have 35x12.5's and honestly they look a little too skinny- a 13.5 would be better for proportionality imo...

Ive looked everywhere and I didnt know toyos were 12.5 I just think 13.5 is to wide for a 33 tire. Allright there has been a change in plans. The guys at socal supertrucks got me the donahoes for not much more then the sway a ways and they are a better shock in my oppinion so I am going with them to get the shocks sooner, also the UCA are on back order so I will only be getting the shocks friday and the UCA will be shipped later. Also going with the donahoe kit you dont need an upper shock mount so it save you a little over 80 on the UCAs. for sure pics as soon as shocks are in and later when UCA are in
