    Well with the grill flying off the truck in mid air along with other important front end parts I would think it ended poorly lol

    Nice Matt,
    I have the FBG coil over with Bilstein 5100's, went back and forth on whether to go with the version that has their shock. Wonder why they don't put a shock boot on their shock, the 5100's I got have the boot installed. I'm sure your going to be happy with them.

    Enjoying your build as usual.

    I'm having some fun this 2nd go around. Learned a lot here over the last 4+ years. I contemplated going with the 5100's but the FBG shock is pretty beefy. @TruckyTruck got 100K on them before they crapped out. I average 8K miles a year. I'm 63! I'm a slow poke where I wheel. Rough jeep trails and not afraid to get a few pinstripes. My rear setup, whatever I decide, will be from Toytec. I need two more FN BFD wheels and @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc will get my business for those along with their super bump stops, and another set of Gorilla lug nuts. I'll be getting Toytec's $50 coilover covers. No need for shock boots.

    I felt like I might have got more mileage out of them if it wasn't for towing a trailer with a weight distribution hitch every week for the last year. The weight being transferred to my front end really put those shocks to work. Definitely not a Cadillac smooth ride, but way better than spacers and you can adjust them.

    As soon and I install my Elka, I'm going to put them up for sale. I'm sure with a new set of shocks, they will make someone a nice set of coilovers.

    Budgetwise it just made more sense to buy 2 more FN's. Still going with 35's. Most likely Cooper AT3 LXT's this time around.

    Used a $10 Advance Auto Speed Perk and got this rainx synthetic chamois for basically free. Paid a $1.07. Worked great. No streaking or water spots left behind.

    Yeah, but if you get close there are no shortage of small scratches.

    Not in a hurry for a new full set of tires yet. I have 2 Cooper STmaxx' and 1 STT Pro in storage. :facepalm:Same size. The STT is half worn. Technically I could buy another Maxx but that just might be a bit weird looking. While I'm piecing my suspension together, my budget includes a matching Pro grille from @Roman ! SpinTech muffler hopefully will get installed this coming week or next.
