Yep, Go LT's or let it be. Shorties are just a tick better than stock, not worth the money. Just realized you had shorties. I'd sell those and get LT's if you're going to put effort into headers. IMHO.

lol this shouldn't be a problem lol. you already know what to do. lts of course and when u do go lts you will have a lot of choices to prove from. Kooks, Hooker, Pacesetters and others.

most will say pacesetters since they are cheap. they are cheap but they are good.

others will come in with opinions.

and another vote for LTs. I tried shorties and they were okay, but once I stepped up to LTs, I gained near 40 RWHP...
