Re: Suspension Mods - How Much Is Too Much

That's another cool idea Yoder. Skill level would be another good idea to keep people getting in over their head. Maybe even have a link to a thread where someone does a good how-to write up.

I get to reading about mods guys make to their truck and think I'd like to do something like that too. Then I stop and think that's just gonna be more money and time that I don't have and don't really even need since it's going to be over the intended purpose of my truck.

I believe in making a vehicle as safe as possible, especially if it's a daily driver. With interstate speeds reaching 70 mph and beyond in some states, braking and handling need to be addressed. Do you "need" 13" disc brakes? Probably not. But on the other hand, can you stop as fast as that newer Chevy truck in front of you that has those same 13" brakes as stock equipment that we swap onto our trucks?
