    Awesome. I have the super bumps on mine too. There awesome. When it comes to skids get 1/4 steel. I already bent a set of 3/16s. I have quarter now except my IFS just waiting for black friday. Looks like you got the bug man... Keep it going. Im jealous of the front locker. Its on my list when I regear.

    Definitely got the bug, feeding my addiction.... At least its healthy, for now..

    Yeah figured winter is coming and I will be riding trails a lot, so suspension, lockers, and gears topped my list.

    Nice! I just checked his out, look exactly the same as ATO... I am getting a new shackle I saw someone running on here with the expos. Comes off an XJ Jeep. Im really excited to see how they work.

    They do look the same, but I went with the SOS because it's 170 shipped, instead of the 199 plus shipping from ATO. Since Kevin sold the business the quality of work doesn't seem to be the same, based on customer experience. I hate rake, so I didn't care for the 3/4 inch extra lift the ATO's provide. That Shackle you're talking about looks nice, like the idea they have zerk fittings to grease the bushings. Is the back of your truck sagging, or do you want more lift out of the rear?

    No my expos are only a few months old, no sag yet. I have been reading about how the expos can flatten out a little when you flip the shackle due to the fact they aren't made to be mounted as such. Plus 3/4 inch of rake really isn't much. My truck sits flat with the 700 pound springs up front. Also I load out my bed quite a bit for hunting, dirt biking, and camping.

    Also good to hear about he customer service part, makes sense as to why they never answer phone or return calls. I actually stayed away from SOS due to comments in the board on his service....

    Its whatever though, some people on here seem to complain about everything. I'm just happy if I get my parts and they do what I need/ paid for.

    Finally had time to pick up my skids! Went to Pelfreybilt today and Tyler gave me the IFS Skid, Mid Skid, Rear skid w/ out cutout, ARB Compressor, and ARB Air Pump up kit.

    Mailman delivered my CB and all parts from BAMF.

    Now I need to replace my front passenger side CV boot, guess it blew sometime in the last few days. Then get to installing everything.

    Thanks to Tyler and Satin Pelfrey for ordering me a new
    $1,091 ARB RD121 Air Locking Differential
    ARB RD121 Air locker since I gave them the wrong part number RD111 that ARB customer support and someone else at a reputable gear shop on the East Coast recommended to me....

    Went by Pelfreybilt today and picked up my ARB 121 Front Locker! Just waiting on the Nitro gears from ECGS.

    Installed and wired my CB, painted my BAMF Ant. mount and installed/ wired antenna, started spray painting my Pelfreybilt skids, and also installed/ wired my ARB air compressor!
