you are correct. I took the eBay flares off. They were all scuffed up from tree branches and the look of a white truck on oem wheels with black flares wasnt doing it for me any more.

Put the coilovers and rear shocks on. and in between cussing while re-wiring my 97+ Comanche I put on some vinyl stickers. I think it looks better now then just a plain side

That's some expensive hardware under your truck now!

Well see how it performs. The fun police took my license for a ticket I plead guilty to in another state so I haven't put many miles on. The rear shocks are a nice improvement from the back tire dropping off a curb. No more shutter compared to my bilsteins which had 40k or so on them. The front is a bit firm on sharp abrupt bumps. Well see, hopefully I'll be happy on dirt roads. the down side is they reccomend being rebuilt 40k on hwy and 15k on dirt. Was hoping for better life than that

That really stinks man... how long? Rhode Island tried to take my license when i was in college. I got into some trouble up at school, i wasn't even driving and they still tried to take it. I did everything i needed to to satisfy the courts and then some. I fought them lil the cows came home on that one... I eventually won. do you have any kind of appeals process?

Brokemillwright

30 days suspended, have about a week and a half left. Since the ticket was cheap I plead guilty, and turns out that when you do that, the court record gets sent home and Washington has a mandatory 30 day suspension for reckless. Live and learn, should have tried harder to fight it but not attorney there wanted to call me back so I paid the $230 ticket and thought I was clear lol.

Finally got fedup with the falkens and traded them in for new tires. I just wish the 295/70/18 had the white letters, so i kept the 275/70. Just a very short time on these, and they are 4db quieter and smoother over fwy bumps

What was wrong with the Falkens? Wildpeak AT3?

Brokemillwright

Made in Thailand, getting noisy with 11k mi, espically on chip seal roads, harsh riding, rock throwers for at least 10 miles after a gravel road. They did seem to do good on light off road traction, i didnt get to pit them in snow unfortunately.I went from Cooper st maxx (loved them) and tried the falkens because they were much cheaper, from the 1st speedbump leaving the parking lot I started to regret swaying from cooper. I also was expecing a bit of mpg gain since they were smaller and lighter than the st maxx, but I think the tread design had a bit more rolling resistance, mpg stayed about the same. I'm just a knit picker with sensitive hearing, lots of people like those tires. Time will tell if the new cooper's will work for me

Thanks for that. I have had Coopers and they were nothing short of junk. Out of round, hard to balance and work quickly. I had Discount Tire Direct warranty out a full set of Discoverer HT Plus, and the guy told me they have tons of issues with them.
