You can get just the kit with 4'' blocks in the rear for like $715, but i did the 2'' blocks with 2 1/2 add a leaf, so that ran about $850ish.

I bet the rear is not doing any stoping duty.
I guess nobody cares about safety here....as long as it looks good.

It's hard to tell if there is a bracket on it. I can see the extension clearly , but not sure of the bracket. So what's the deal "BIG"

Sorry but could yall help me out on what yall are talking about? I mean the truck stops fine. I put about 100miles on it this weekend alone and hit the brakes hard to see how they did, and they did great.

Talking about the bracket in the highlighted area. There is a extension and a angled bracket that should be there like on my truck(4" lift). I'm not making a big deal of this, just pointing out what anthony1 was referring to.

I dont know where you live, so I cant tell you the exact laws, but Id suggest you get some mudflaps on that rig. Around here you can get a pretty good ticket for no mudflaps.

I think he's from down south in alabama, as far as I could find they don't have any mudflap laws, just gotta make sure its under 13.5 feet and your reflectors are 60 inches or less from the ground.

Hey Alex,
Good to finally see you on YT. Man, that truck looks sweet, you definetly had some good vision about it. And don't listen to these guys about ditching the brushguard for ARB, it's your truck, do it like you want. Best of luck, and when I go to B'ham this weekend, I want to drop by and see it if possible. Thanks again for taking the brushguard off my hands and on your truck, it looks great. Best of luck with the ladies. By the way, rOcKy is a girl... Good luck with the ladies, get some tint on the windows for some added fun with 'em

that truck looks great. did you install a rope ladder to climb in. you should post a video of how you climb in. but quick question? you havent regeared your truck or put in a stronger clutch setup. when i moved up to 31's on my 4runner i felt a good power drop. i would think with 35's your truck would be a major turd. im lifting mine and getting 33's in a couple of weeks and i plan on regearing as soon as i can afford it.

From this pic, I see the extension on there but there's nothing on top of it. The thing next to it that pivot should be attach to the extension.
like the pic below.


You might think it stops fine but the front is doing all the braking. the back is not. The LSPV or porportioning valve is used to differentiate between empty load and full load. As the bed is fill with stuff, the valve let in more brake pressure to the rear drum. When you lift the truck, the valve lets even less pressure to the rear drum so you need to lift the lever along with the suspension.
