Open to suggestions.

TO DO:
icon rear bumpstops

the truck is the vehicle i built prior to the 4runner, fun build i just wanted something more practical to actually use off road and take camping.. 22x12 rims aren't so great on rocks and off road.

Looks good. Who in AR installed your lift. I'm looking to go with a similar setup, 2.5 front and either 1 or 1.5 in back. Going to finally pull the trigger on it in a couple weeks hopefully.

I'm in Central AR. Been playing around with doing the install on my own, with a little help, but if I can get it done cheap enough that may be a better option.

if your not too far from little rock they have a 4wheel parts shop you can get it done at, and in i think rogers arkansas theres a place called arkansas customs that does a lot of good work.

I'm 30 minutes from LR. That's one of the places I'm considering. Partially because they have had the best deals on the KO2s I'm wanting too. Wife is from NWA too, so that may be an option. I used Mudd Connection in LR for my Jeep years ago. They did a good job too.

just make sure that you go with somebody that is professional and trained to deal with this type of suspension work, you know as well as i do theres a lot of rednecks around here that know a lot about lifting mud trucks and big mud tires but the suspension on our cars needs to be done properly. I've had a couple of bad experiences lol

here are some random Photos I've taken over some trips all from Arkansas, some taken on mountain bike trips some taken on floating trips and some at a secret swimming hole only a few know about in arkansas

That swimming hole is legit. Spent 20 years living in Fayetteville and I've never heard about it.

 

[Chromdome35]

I've lived in Fayetteville for 25 years and explored all over the Ozarks but haven't run into that swimming hole. Do you mind PM'ing me and telling me where it is?

Looks like War Eagle, White Rock Mtn and maybe Lost Valley?
