Anyone Running The Metco Trac-links?

HI!... Anyone running the METCO "TRAC-LINKS"? How do you like them? Any installed pics you can share? Looking for ones installed under the leaf springs that are on a lowered truck. Thanks.

I have the uppers due to my custom exhaust being in the way. They took care of my wheel hops when I increased HP/TQ. Also they seem to assist in stabilizing the truck at highway speeds.

Let me know how that goes for you. Seems the turbo work will be done (crosses fingers) Thursday, so I may get to put mine on earlier than I had expected

HI!... Just curious to hear how much you guys paid for your METCO's???? A local place here in CANADA quoted me $470(CAN). I see from METCO's website that they have a MRSP of $439.50(U.S). Thanks.

Hey neal hate to steal your thread but i posted in the brakes forum and i guess you never saw it... Anyways i think i read somewhere that you have lightning brakes on your truck. I recently purchased the lighting calipers brackets and lines for my truck off a 2002 L i was wondering what all was involved in putting these on. I know the rotor is different but im getting the lightning ones. I was wondering am i gonna need a special brake line ? Bearings specific to the lightning? new dust caps? again sorry to hijack your post but i need to know
Thanks

The suspension would bind and you would add 35 lbs. Other than that, no.
