yea I would love to see a 3" spacer with cv angles that were not bad

put your truck in some sand and buried the rear end so that your stuck then put it in 4lo and get on it to pull your truck out your cv axles are gonna make a pop and could even snap

Thats not a horrible angle, but your truck definatly is going to shimmy about 35mph in 4WD.

Great looking truck though!

I don't think that spacer gave you a true 3" of lift .. maybe 2.5" ... Whats up with the tow strap though? Save your truck and stop beating it offroad.

They were nice but not really worth the money IMO. But if you've got nothing else to blow your money than go for it. The quality is second to none, that's for sure.
