What are you so hardcore that you would drag the frame on your 40,000 dollar truck? Or maybe even lay out the front ground effect and rip that bitch off?

the trailer balls are there to protect the hand made roll pan since apparently the shop that built that truck mad the first one or they spent a shit load of time on it and they diddnt want to see it get fucked up so they werent put there for draggin

Being a Colorado owner myself and knowing the kind of work you have ahead of you, all I have to say is Good Luck.

My thoughts exactly John (1lowrado)...And shockwaves on the front aren't a good idea. Ask James. You don't get any lift AT ALL!!! The red and black one that was just recently in MT has em and he barely has the lift to get the tires to turn on 20s...But GOOD LUCK and I'd like to know how it turns out. You'd be the first on 24s...Do what you gotta do!

I'm sure that I have "missed the boat" already, but I'll leave my 2 cents anyway...

There isn't any reason why you couldn't design your own suspension to do what you are talking about. With a really wide rim like that there are a few different issues that you would need to address durring the design phase, but none of them would be an issue if thought about first. As for the Shockwaves, I agree with Kenny. They don't offer the kind of travel that you would need on a truck like that. As nice as they look, your money can be way better spent on other things.

The indy rearend would need to be a semi-custom set-up. That really isn't a problem either. If you are interested, let me know and I will give you an idea of what you might be looking at.
