Re: JRich's 1 Ton Taco *Back from EOR*

yea, that's sitting at full bump, not sure how tall i'm gna set it..
prolly around 4 inches front 5 rear to start off with...

Got my DOM tierod in the low low position as of now because thats the first thing that hits at full bump..
and I can't swing hi-steers this week... Ram mount shouldn't move, so it'll be an easy swap...


And Haley's got his buggy on lock after scholl hours, I'm just getting the student laborand his expertise.. :afro:
