.......super truckers are putting 10-12" stacks on their rigs.

we've got chassis dyno in the shop. I'll watch what goes through more closely, see if I can catch the numbers and see what they're sporting.

Cut from under the truck. The rubber stuff will just burn. 2mins, you have nice cut hole in the bed. My wife wont let me put the stacks on so, I have stack envy. I'm gonna do it after I put a new paint job on the old girl. Once the wife starts to like the truck again, slam in the stacks. Its easier to spend money on the old girl this way and make wifey mad.

I may have to hit you up for that. Depending on the work situation, I may actually get some projects accomplished on these two trucks.

That maybe true, but at the same time we had this argument going at blackout. My truck came with it and there is no point in pulling it off, especially when i plan to have enough power to need the 5 inch. Everybody to their own. some have 5, some have 4. some go fast, some go slow.
