Go spintech FTW!!! Sounds awesome cruising around, then jump on the freeway and she doesn't really drone at all. Also is quiet enough to hear your tunes. Very lightweight and an awesome design. Go single or double. Hell... Go triple if you please!

Here's a pic of my pretty simple setup w/ single 2.25" inlet 2.5" outlet w/ factory cats still installed.

They look like WP lift shackles 153. Scope, looks like you need to tighten down the sway bar endlink bolts.

They are WP shackles and Rebel, I tightened it with an impact wrench, the bushings had to settle, then i tightened it again, this is on the lift so it was unloaded

Well, by the end of next month I should have my new exhaust and more blacked out goodies on there can't afford new tires or rims for a long time tho. Unless I find some in the local auto rv I gotta wait.

And thank you, you're the first to tell me so on the site!

well technically, you dont have to give your number out, anyone can browse through there, and if you see something youre interested in, then you can give that one person a call or text, but its not necessarily "giving it out", i got my tires from a guy on craigslist, and turns out he lives 5 minutes down the road, and his son was the one that owned the tires, and he actually goes to the school in my city (i dont go to it haha) and he hangs out around where i work and i see him all the time up town lol its funny though.
but yeaah there are some whackos out there just know how to talk to em, and idk i wouldnt go alone to pick up anything, haha but me still being in high school, i had my parents with me lol

Thought I'd add this picture of my lifted Trac with my wife Carol 8 1/2 months pregnant with our son Matthew (due on October 18th) and Me-Jerry. Went and took some family photo's last week. OH yeah, I'm 6'6" so that tells you how tall my Trac stands.
