|  Loving the toobes
Just tried my rig after installing Gunnar Beef Toobs. The axle strength is a good thing, but the extra weight in the axles is awesome! It is amazing how moving weight from the wheels to the axles helps stability when flexed. I drove the front right along a wall and turned into it until the front left was on it's side and the front right was pulling along the wall. The suspension was at full twist with the back right driving about two inches up the wall. When I came the the corner I just turned in and the truck pivoted around the corner, keeping balance and continuing on it's way (no dig). When I tried that before any hint of extra throttle or trying to turn caused the rig to just roll over. |

First thing I noticed when I originally installed my tubes was how great the extra weight was going to be. They have held up like champs and I have barrel rolled the truck from almost 5 feet high LOL. I've also tore one side of my front susp. right out (oops, forgot the lock tight) and thanks to the beef tubes put it right back together again.  |

Im so glad you guys are digging these things. Isnt it just amazing what 1.5oz in each diff can do for stability? Now, combine that with D_Lux knuckle weights...oh man! I am in heaven now. Casey |

Getting weight out of the wheels and into/on to the front axle is key. only if knuckle weights were only $18 set like the tooobs.... |
