We have a hard enough time getting jacks under our trucks as it is, next thing you know you're gonna be like a see-saw on speed bumps/humps

Nope. The ones I do encounter I drive around, even if it means driving out of a parking lot and finding another entrance. I am used to this from my lowered TBird (bilsteins and eibachs). However, on my Bird I didnt have to worry about scraping a bar or such, only the frame (lol) so I didnt worry as much...i know it sounds stupid but i wouldn't want to break my nifty lift bars.

I have to drive up on boards to get a jack under my truck, though I've yet to try a low-profile one.

My only complaint is the aluminum handle flexes a bit much, but for the money it can’t be beat.

Had to do that to the GTI before I got rid of those horrid eibachs the previous owner put on.

Cyn, the bar is 255.


Also i was planning to stay w/the stock leafs and just get a 3"shackle but is it worth the difference in $$ to get those sliders i think they r $250 and u have to remove the bed for the install

From what I've been told the sliders really take out the slop from the rear. 3" shackles would add more slop. From a performance POV, go with the sliders. However, now if you decide to get leafs, I would think Hotchkis would be your only option as the Roush is more of a 3 inch drop, which would total your rear drop at 5 inches!
