Update

So looking over my front end I see that the bushing is being eaten out of my one stock shock again(on the same side that I kept blowing my coilovers on, and it is a new shock 2 weeks old) and looking closer at my front end I have some pretty crappy welds on the front LCA bracket. After looking it over good with my dad I think my truck had some front end damage before I got it. I am going to try and get it thrown on my dads friends frame rack tomorrow, but I dont know if it will work with my lift as well as if it will find anything because I think I have the front LCA/front brace bracket welded back on there wrong causing my alignment issue as well as my shock issues. I dont know if the frame rack will find it because the frame seems straight and it just seems to be the front bracket thats wrong. IDK well see, but could I get some pics of some frames from you guys to see if everyones welds are bad there or just mine. I need pics from the front looking at the bolt that holds the LCA to the truck and the frame cross member that hold the LCA on. On a another note my dad talked me out of LT my DD and said to start building our company ranger into my beater so the cage on that should start within the next few weeks(as soon as my buddy get the right 1 3/4 die for his bender) and I ordered SAW's for the front to see how they ride and they have a stiffer spring so maybe I can get rid of my sway bar and put my bump there because I have worked on it for a couple hours now and cant find anywhere to mount a bump. Could someone help me design a bump location I cant come up with anything, I might have to resort to putting a big rubber bump like stock on my new coilovers shaft for bump, I cant find anywhere to put one. My DR's are up for sale but it looks like for now Ill be keeping everything else.

not sure if you'd be interested but here are some relatively cheap racerunner coilovers. Who makes race runner btw?

I still really want to but I figure my DD is built enough to get me where ever I want and I can just build a toy to beat, most of the guys I go out with thier trucks are just toys so they dont mind beating them. Also I dont really want to make my DD into a race truck, you put race parts on you get race part squeaks, creaks, pops and moans. I dont know if I could live with that everyday.
