Is it ironic that if you remove every other letter from PROCOMP you get POOP?

No on both my Chevy's I ended up replacing everything other than the actual drop brackets, shocks, springs, torsion bars, it all sucked. But seriously there are places you can skimp on quality and a light cover is a a place you can do that and get away with it.

True. I have a POOP suspension on Clyde (came on it).. while its functional... its STIFF and it does not flex as well as I'd like it to. But hey, it was sorta free so I can't complain too much. I can't wait to pull it all and put some nice soft Marlin leafs with some Fox shocks under it.
But I can't see anything wrong with a POOP light cover.. unless it says POOP on it.

Hence the spray paint
But seriously nothing wrong with procomp springs and shocks you just have springs that are too short (need RUFs) procomp shocks work OK like I've always said a shitty shock with proper valving for the app will outperform a highdollar good shock with improper valving for the app. Good (long) procomp springs plus promomp shocks should have nothing wrong with them.

An RUF pack is refering to a solid axle application using a toyota rear leaf pack up front. The leafs are significantly longer than standard toyota leaves and offer much move flex than the standard 47" front leaf pack. Not really an IFS application but there you go for the explanation.

Other than the fact that they are rated at 340 lbs and the Marlins are 220. I'll take the softer and longer springs.. Marlins are longer as well.

yeah I'm an Asshole, an American Asshole
i was looking at a runner that had 63's they moved the front hanger just about 11" but moved the back hanger the rest of the difference(4")... I asked him why and he said that is how they are done...
on his he had a crappy departure angle. crappy= 7-8" off the rear hanger to the corner of the quarter panel.
what do you think

They move them like that to keep the center pin somewhat in the middle of your wheelwell.
