Another Total Chaos faithful!

I ordered the TC arms and the LAST set of powersteps from greg(sorry Jen..) and put the arms on already. I was scared because of some of the threads i've read, that these might be a

to install...NO WAY!! These thing went on with no problems. I also had no clearance problems with the bushings either, even though TC said that I needed to shave 'em. Don't worry about all that grease in the pics

Finished that right on up with a rag. Alignment was trashed, but we got the best guy here in marietta so hooked that on up. Did anyone notice a little smoother ride or is it just me? Also got around 1/2" to 3/4 more lift which was nice. Thanks again for everyone's post and help!!!

How did you get 1/2" to 3/4" o lift from just the TC aarms? I read in your signature that the DR coilovers are comming soon...

Great looking truck...

I,m running the TC upper arms, just wondering what coilovers would be best, SAW's or King's

SAWs from PRGproducts would be best because they are valved better per PRG specs. putting name and color preference aside, SAWs are better.

Thanks for the info, looks like I'll be running SAW's in the near future, by the way, who built the bumper on your truck. It looks awesome

thanks mang, bumper made by PRG's friend who does many of PRG fabrication projects, just a few miles from PRG's shop. btw, just wanna reiterate something about the coilovers. not one is particularly better persay. if all brands were the same color the average joe wouldn't know what the differences are. for the most part they are basically all the same. the only difference with the SAWs is that greg specs the valving on them and if anyone knows anything about coilovers, its the valving that is the main focal point on a coilover. many here who have fox coilovers, icon dynamics (formerly Donahoe), Kings, etc. have had their valving redone by greg and have said... day and night difference... although the Icon Dynamics coilovers are valved exceptionally well already.

So the SAW's that greg sells are valved differently than an SAW coilover from another shop?, also if you don't mind me asking, how much did the bumper run you? I'm also thinking of cutting off my stock bumpstops and adding some air bumps instead, any thoughts on that? Thanks for the great info!

may look the same but greg's are valved unique to his specs. bumper was a big chunk of change and air bumps are better than the stock. just depends on how you mount them though.
