I hear you brother, if 45 is bad then 290 is like "hold my beer and watch this" crazy

Hey Tareed94, let me know when you'll be around Houston again, I would like to do what you did for Unbroken with the Forscan updates. I would also gladly put up some cash for your time

Sure thing! I'll be headed up there at some point this month. Not sure entirely what weekend yet though. I'll PM you when I figure it out.

I have a question for my fellow leveled fellows in the area, did you have a specific shop install your kit or did you do it yourself. I have installed many kits myself in the driveway but lately I do not have the time to spend on the instillation myself and would like to have a shop install and warranty the work. I live in the Cypress Area and do not mind traveling a little ways to get a good deal by a reputable shop, it seems if you get an install with the kits most sell I've gotten quotes around $200-250. I have tried to see if any shops will let me bring my own kit as i just received the Autospring 2.5" kit and would like to use it. Any recommendations I greatly appreciate it thanks!

I installed mine myself. Honestly, check with NTB, Firestone, or Discount Tire. They all do installs of them I believe, and then it's already there for an alignment.

In other news, mine is leveled and on 20x10 -19 Hostile Gauntlets with 33x12.5 Yokohama Geolandar G003 MT's that launch July 1st.

They're great so far, although they do hum like a Federal Couragia MT. I personally like a humming mud tire, but it's not for everyone. The ride is considerably rougher but I went from 18's with a ~33" passenger tire to 20's with a 33" LT mud tire, so that was to be expected. My mileage took a hit (about 2-3mpg highway), as this setup is VERY HEAVY. Tires are around 65 pounds each according to FedEx, wheels I'm not sure. Again, expected.

They don't seem to have taken a lot of weight to balance, and they're smooth at speed (even at 85mph). I haven't gotten a chance to get off pavement with them or in wet conditions yet to comment on that performance.
