Oh and he uses it. I'm not knocking it at all.

You know that guy lives about 2.5 miles from me. I've seen his truck on the main road into the neighborhood many times. Nice truck for sure. It's really too bad that new suspension kit is made by AllPoo.. but it looks like they have new management so maybe they have changed in quality??

Yeah I was confused if it was Trail Gear that made the kit and they had All-Poo make the bracket and skid plate for them?

And I still don't understand how that guy makes so much money as a drop shipper.

Trail Gear, AllPoo, Marlin Crawler, Lowrange, and Wheelers are all under the same umbrella now.

Edit.. Not Marlin Crawler, Longfield Super Axles
