Nice shots, Eddie & family. That is a fun place to wheel . . . been there many times on 2 wheels.

Nice fender trim, by the way.

LOL!! well, it's definitly getting modified more and more but in truth, it's actually a tad lower than it used to be. after getting my evo flex setup, i removed my 1" BL and had my coils set a hair lower so that my total height was lower than what it was with the TF coils. with my cut fenders, i can clear my 37's with ease and keep my COG way low

Very nice Eddie!

I'm interested in getting that same long arm setup for my rig.

Do you mind me asking......how much did it cost ya???

Did you install it yourself? If not how much did the install cost?

If you have the full traction ultimate shortarm, the long arm upgrade will cost you about $1800 for the kit. If you have the full traction premium lift, there are a few additional things that you should buy, drop pitman, drop track bar bracket, adjustable trackbars.
