    Lift Question

    It's all good. I was just elaborating on your suggestion. All the same intent. And even though the OME springs alone advertise only 1.5" of lift, you will actually get about 2.5" out of them alone. Then add a Boiler top spacer and a 3-ring Clevis lift, and you are just about the same...

    Lift Question

    Frankie spacers are not actually 1.5" additional. They are 1.5" overall. so if you add .75 to the stock iso, you get roughly the same amount. And it really doen not matter if you add one .75" spacer or a set of one .5" and one .25", the overall assemble stack and spring preload is the same...

    LTT True Cold Air Intake for KJ's

    Yes, the water crossing has been mentioned and addressed several times on other forums. By all means, if you go through deep water regularly, this is not for you. But heavy rain is not a problem at all. I drove for about an hour in a flooding Texas downpour at highway speed (or as close to...
