Am I the only one who thinks that those pucks look like they are bulging already. For the safety of everyone else in your area take them out. If they are giving you no lift why have them.

Man you really need to use the search button. Use google. Use the computer and research anything you do from here on out on your truck before you go and do it.

You should have your license suspended for doing something like that or even trying it. Possibly one of the worst ideas ever thought of not to mention done.

If you're all about "cheapest" why did you buy an fx4?

This thread goes along the same line as thinking that you will get more horse power by putting sugar in your gas tank. Witch is not possible....unless you put chains on your rims.








BlackonBlackFX4 that was a joke. It will not give you more horsepower. Don't do it

Who the hell puts hockey pucks in their rear suspension thinking it will give them lift anyways?!

If it hasn't been done already, at least something with suspension, don't you think there's a damn good reason why?
