[QUOTE="GM3SF, post: 1225202, member: 8663"] You’d have to take the truck there as here is fabrication involved, but like I said, I would have driven cross country for this. Dude, no disrespect, but I already had airbags, which is basically what the timbren setup you mention is. I promise you I t’s not even close to the same thing. I had that for [U]years[/U] on our previous raptor and now again on this new one. It’s what we just took off of this Raptor and replaced with the Fox Shocks pictured. Trust me. As someone that travels/tows with his truck 2 weeks a month, that previous setup is 100% not the same thing as this. I don’t lose any wheel travel at all here and even just towing is night and day difference.[COLOR="Red"] [SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 10:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 AM ----------[/SIZE] [/COLOR] Thanks!
