Gear Your Rear

To accommodate a 40" tire, it is necessary to re-gear your truck to bring it back to it's stock ratios. Re-gearing brings the truck back into the stock power band of the engine, which relieves strain from the motor and transmission, lowering exhaust gas temperatures and more. While your changing out your gears, swap out your differential cover. PML offers a full line of covers for full size trucks. The deeper differential pan allows for more oil, which in return will keep your differential cooler. The aftermarket covers also feature oil changes without removing the cover, magnetic drain plug, and thick wall construction to add strength to the differential housing.




King Off Road Racing Shocks

King has shocks for every type of off road vehicle, including the international SCORE racing Trophy Trucks found in Baja, California and Mexico. All King shocks are re-buildable with no special tools necessary, and all their parts are high tolerance CNC machined. For this lift kit application, a set of nitrogen charged dual rate 2.5 coil over shocks with reservoirs were used up front to replace the factory coils and stock shocks. For the rear, a set of 2.5 reservoir shocks were used to complement the 8" Deaver springs. The shocks also feature chromed shock bodies, and anodized black reservoir and end caps.




Amp Research Power Steps

Amp Research offers a full line of retractable running boards for all common trucks and SUV's. Each kit includes left and right side running boards, hardware, OEM wiring harness, control module, and detailed installation guide. Activated through the door sensor of the truck, the steps automatically pop down when the door has been opened. When in the stowed position, the steps are completely hidden from view and provide increased ground to body clearance, in addition to a more streamlined appearance to the truck.
