I had the same problem with the exhaust so i dumped it before the axle and that fixed the muffler problem

Looks really nice. Are those 24's on there?

i really wanted the duals out the back. and it's upsetting considering it only about five months old. but thats the hand i've been dealt.

in rear are you using the spacer?

Also in rear be careful once you cut bracket the pass side tire will push out more when the truck comes down might rub so might rub. The spohn bar will help that. You will like the ride

finally did the free travel mod dreaded the idea of the work involved but it was super easy and took about ten minutes to do both sides. didn't go crazy cleaning up the welds and with the bump stop tony gave me that tiny little lip isn't getting in the way. still rode like shit i was getting concerned now did i make a mistake going this low? my dual exhaust ran the left pipe over the panhard bar so i had zero clearance. took out the sawzall after work cut both pipes right in front of the axle. took her out for a spin and she rides ******* great! only problem is exhaust is louder and the drone sucks!

Stance looks great! Do whatever you need to the exhaust to get it correct, but please leave the stance alone.

they ride great to me! have you gotten complaints from people you have sold them to? those would be the only valid complaints. i live in nyc. and the streets are shit here like any other big city. and i'm not complaining about these springs. my only concern are the shocks i hope they hold up well cause from what i've seen here on this forum most of the complaints have been the shocks.

I'm going to intervene on this thread due to "tony haters". From what I've noticed, the people who have a problem with tony seem to be the type of people who are never happy with anything and will pick anything they can to complain about. These type of people come in to shops wanting discounts from the start like they've been doing business with you for 10 years. They get huffy when they don't get it. They get you to do the work and they do anything in their power to try and get you to say "Okay, here is your money back." When these types of people come to my shop I politely ask them to screw themselves and never ask me for anything else.

I have personally had good luck buying parts from Tony and have never been led down the wrong path with his advice. Tony, you are A+ in my book.

I think if your honest with most vendors about what you expect from their product they will have a better idea it what direction to guide you. if you go in hot with all guns firing say this is what I want and I want it for this price...blah...blah...blah. I think you get the idea. A quality vendor will always back up their products and try to make the customer happy, even if they know the customer is full of s***. People start to talk bad about vendors without even knowing or asking if the vendor will help them, they just go on a flame attack. Some people get what they deserve, Karma is real!

It's been a few months and couple hundred miles. Added the helper bags for when I load her up. But she runs great got a proper alignment done after replacing the rest of my worn out front suspension. Still running the spacer also but I want to come down a half inch more in the rear tony can you shoot mea link for another set of spacers. I still want to keep the original ones from the kit
