Anyway, text them to me.

So here?s the deal...

I ordered new kryptonite tie rod ends, new ball joints, new keys and spacers for the rear springs.

Turns out my wheels are 20x12?s already so I?m going to wait to see how much higher I get the suspension with the keys and order a set of the 40? Pitbull Rockers.

I spent an add?l 900 bucks getting a new steering box. Mine?s been leaking ever so small lately and it?s been harder and harder to steer.

We?ll see how it looks when the parts start to arrive.

Mark, did you order the GM Green Keys or an aftermarket brand? I just ordered the Cognito Leveling kit myself but did not purchase the keys.

I ordered an aftermarket set but made sure they were forged.

That kit will get it leveled by itself...but I'd plan ahead 'cause sometimes those keys are a bitch to get out. If you think spacers are in your future, I'd do the keys while its at the shop for the UCAs.

Thanks Brent. Should I go with the GM Green keys or Truxx? I hear the Green Keys give the same amount of lift as the aftermarket keys but at a cheaper cost. What rear spacers are you running in your H2?

BTW, my DMAXed H2 is supposed to be picked up tomorrow! Hallelujah

Thanks,
Reggie

I have no preference on the keys...I've read the same as you, "both give the same amount of lift." I just happened to go with the Truxxx keys, but that's only because I didn't know about the GM Greenies.

I got the 1" Truxxx spacers for the rear.

RE: DMax...finally! I can't wait to hear it. Your Ford's gonna be jealous!

Congrats Reggie, I know you?re jonesing to have that thing home. Did you go with the guy I went with? Or did they finally find someone?

If you?re going to order the keys, I?d go with the forged ones. I don?t know if it really makes that much difference but it?s not like they?re more money.

Also, if you?re going to order the keys, I?d buy the spacer kit too. (again, the whole damn kit is cheap... it?s not even a couple of hundred) if you?re going to want any increase in height.

I think I?ve decided I?m going to sell my tires only and use the wheels I?ve got (though wheels are only a grand, it?s the freakin? tires that are a killer)

The Open Country tires I have I think I priced the 40?s in the high 6 or low 700 range. That?s crazy!

I?m on my third set of Toyo?s and though they?ve been a great tire, I?m thinking I?m going with the Pitbull Rockers... they just look bad ass.
