I made up my mind last night I am going Long Travel, My whole set up is for sale, I want to go faster in the desert. While most of you cant get enough of going taller, I cant get enough of going faster.

UCAs are worth it if you ABUSE your truck
FIXED.

Remember the video that was posted a while back of the guy that jumped his truck and it bent the frame so bad the doors wouldnt even open and shut right??? I thought about that when I saw this!

Really the truck landed quiet nice I wasnt as bad as I though it would be, in the air I was like o crap I went to fast... as a case of water floats up to where I can see it in my rear view mirror. Yeah but you have to look at the truck we are sitting on a fully boxed frame one of the strongest made to date, he was a late 90s chevy c channel frame all the way back. That model chevy is well know to have one of the weakest frames ever. Ford did one thing right on this truck and it was the frame. Titans now come fully boxed 4 years later and the tundra is a half boxed frame, ford jumped way ahead with their frame.

dodge boxed their frame in 05, and chevy/gmc in 07. the funny part is that even now, after everyone makes full boxed frames, Ford's is still sturdier then the rest

i would take that new GMC over a titan any day. the titan has a great transmission but thats about it. the interior is gross and bed capacity is poor, plus i just wouldn't feel safe in it.
