meh. I've got to admit I don't really like super duties in general, so I'm not gonna say what I think. But when you got both form and function, I guess that's a cool thing.....

I thought that front end was the correct front end for coils. Maybe someone clipped a previous year, or maybe its not even a caddy at all, maybe its a chebby with a caddy clip.
Either way, I learned something. Thanks for the lesson Scott.

Rgeardless, it is still pretty worthless.

This is typicall of IFS stuff. I cant imagine what kind of stress a 49" tire places on the ball joint:

Carlene, Im gonna send you a cleaning bill. Not only did I fall out of my chair laughing (luckily I fell on my head so the damage was limited to the floor) but I spilled my drink all over myself.
That was funny!!!

Ok so apparently some small minded people dont understand that the truck in this signature is a combination of many sarcasims. Please quit being stupid and study up before you run your mouth about it.
