I'm not a pro by anymeans but the truck is just so nice to drive as is but being lighter would be easier on stuff I would imagine, and should also make it slightly quicker or faster?
To the people who have done this was it worth it and would you do it again?
how did it effect the trucks handling and performance?
And do you have any good pics or what not to give me any good ideas.
thanks
All I did was put on a bce chassis,cut the rear bumper,and CF shock towers. With the Pro4 motor or really any 4pole motor you don't even need to do any lightening imo. They have enough torque to get this truck moving quickly. This was'nt the case with earlier motors. I ran the stock towers for a while but got tired of having to take them off to hammer them flat when ever I had a mishap. Bottom line if you like the way the truck performs now why do you want to change it? Like the old phrase goes "If it aint broke,don't try to fix it"
