Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated! Thx. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 38 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 38 | Why go 5 lug? You have to change the entire rear axle and a bunch of stuff in the front end.
If you want a 1/2 ton ride just put 1/2 ton coils in it.
The glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

everybody is ignorant @ something.the more we work together, the less ignorance there is floating around
