    I didnt go w/ the 3" in front cuz i was worried about the wheel alignment not being abe to get bk to spec w/out replacing uca's
    what I really should have done was go w/ a 1"block in the back i still have a rake(higher in the rear) and I wanted it more level but I am happy w/ it.

    Thanks, it's not a very common color.

    My cousin had dc1's, I like the look of the 1's better than the 2's but I think they discontinued the 1's.
    I'm looking to get the XD spy's or the fuel krank's when the finances permit. Not sure on tires yet, I do know I want an a/t in 285/70/17 maybe nitto terra grapplers or falken wild peaks.
