I also see that top gunz sells Atlas springs for $500 or so. Going to call them tomorrow to find out some more info.

Did you get the kicker brace kit for your lift?
No I didn't get the kicker brace kit.

With all the work being done at once, it was kind of hard to really tell the difference in the ride, but I do think it was a little better than stock, even with adding in the lift and tires.

I appologize for not getting back to everyone sooner, but it's been quite a while since I've been on this site. And thanks for all the comliments. It's been about a year now since I did all this work and I'm still loving it.

That would be nice if they did. They do have the FTX model that is lifted, but I would never pay the price they want for all the add-ons from the base price. They're marked up over $20K for everything that is added to them, from lift, tires/wheels, etc.

I don't know if this was already asked or not because i justed skimmed the other peoples comments but im curious where you go that hood scoop and also how much it cost you to have the hood scoop and the fenders painted. Also if you could tell me the backspacing on your rims thatd be great!

Got the scoop here ($65)...

And I know a guy that works at a local body shop that painted my scoop and flares for $125

Backspacing is 4.79" (-18mm offset)
