[QUOTE="Stickman89, post: 1201516, member: 7788"] Initial Shock/Truck/Parts Reviews Current setup is Fox 3.0’s Deaver +3’s Rogue Bump stops set at 140psi Rogue Uca’s Rogue Tie Rods (full lock contact shock body) Icon Wheels 37” BFG Ko2’s ADD intercooler relocation (blowoff valve location poor) RPG frame cut bumper (took some modification to make it work and fit correct) Initial setup to make the ko2 fit was trimming to rear of front two fender liners.
