These guys built me new springs to replace two broken springs for my K30. They were fast and reasonable, especially when shipping to Alaska.

Yep....driven alot of it. Finally wised up and stopped buying vehicles from around here.
So true...
If we lived back in the Midwest again, I would almost 100% not buy a used vehicle from there.
Have bought both of my sisters last 2 cars out here, for her.
people are fcking amazed at them! (Normal plain Jane cars, but when it’s 12 years old and not a spec of rust or a rusty bolt anywhere, the locals are blown away.)

Have a buddy who tinkers body work etc on his vehicles up der and I cannot convince him to Buy old **** somewhere they don’t rot while you sleep.

Bringing from the dead lol. Are skyjackers good? Or is rough country better? Any opinions? Im looking for a set of front 47s that people consider to be good riding. Like a stock to 1-2" ride height. I found some i like but still on the fence.

Rough County and Pro Comp are basically the roughest ones out there. Like, 80's Rancho type stiff. Or Heckethorn it might have been then.

I actually have a set of those, but haven't used them yet. I've had them a long time. Iirc, they should ride not too much worse than the stock springs. Comparable to stock, really.
