weight issues?

RE: weight issues?
yea muddy, thats the new war powerplant with a built in air compressor...I thought it was gonna suck but it's a damn nice piece...it brings his 35's from 8 psi up to 40 in a minute or two....really cool invention.
Doc...shocks won't really do much, may make it rebound better and not have the front end roll when braking but as far as sagging the only way to avoid it would be a set of t-bars with a stiffer or higher rating, which is why a lot of guys with IFS 1/2 ton trucks will replcae the t-bars with a 3/4ton bar. Now that the Alpha is out and the t-bars are swappable ( I called my dealership yesterday and they said yes) you can always swap out to the apla t-bars and bring the front end right back up with no sag at all. There is a company online that can custom make them for any rating you want, my brotehr had a Nissan Frontier[:@]that we lifted and was running on 33's..he had a pushbar,winch,lights,towhooks and some other crap that added a ton of weight, every 2-3 months I would have to crank the bars more and more till he eventually ran out of room, I had a custom pair made and the truck was actually driveable again...in fact it rode like stock. They cost somewhere around $250...not bad at all.
Muddy...I told my bro about taking a trip down to go wheel with you guys...he's super pumped....He bugs me everyday now asking when we are going...lol.

Like I said, my best friend with a simming pool has a winch. [sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif] Maybe stiffer gas pressure shocks for some help? I'm gonna post a open invite to Silver Lake, tons of stuff to do besides mega wheelin. Look for it in the spring 08, date July/August 08

RE: weight issues?
The Boulder Accessories pieces do have to be ordered directly through your dealer.
I was quoted 2100 installed for the H3 system I posted a picture of.
I would up going with the Steelcraft / MileMarker combo off Teakatoys for less than half the price, I'm happy with it.
