hmmm.......what was the model number that you ordered? I think the spindles would be good since Ive already got a spacer. Adding lift coils would just add to the cost with having to get shocks too. and the spindles are about the same height as the stockers?

That's prob my fave color on those gens, you may not believe you have 'bad' axle wrap but I'd be willing to bet if you threw on a cheap set of traction bars or ditched the blocks for re-arched springs you would notice quite a difference on take off and bouncing through the potholes

You are probably right. I always thought that traction bars look cool on lifted trucks, but I cant find anyone that makes them. I have heard that you can get them and make them fit, but I have not attempted to.

Yea, but RCDs are like $300 just for the bars. Then you pay $135 for the brackets. Same thing with all those other traction bars. The lakewood ones I would never buy. But the others are almost $500 dollars by the time you have them on the truck. I can get a 6" leaf pack from Deaver for $700 and get the same effect with a better ride.

Thanks alot though. Hopefully you get it all figured out, and I need to do the LED thing big time. I hate all the green stuff.

Every traction bar does the same thing. Lakewood's are used on many peoples trucks. Its a truck, it may not look preety but if it gets the job done thats all that matters. Lakewood's will work just as good as any other bar.

I understand, but if I am going to spend a chunk of money on anything.. I am going to get what I like. I like these. Set-ups like this run you upwards of $500 dollars. And that doesnt even get them PTM which is what mine would be.
