Fixed my death wobble today i ordered some polly bushings for the front off of summit racing and with my press it didnt take all that long to get the old bushings out of the springs. I also checked my toe with a tape measure it was 1 and a half inches in . So i put it to an 1/8th out and she drives like a dream now

Did you look at the VIN on the dash, or on the title? What about on the door jamb sticker. I would make sure all three match.

All 3 vins match i think your right its from a different planet. And i got the stacks cut tonight ill get a picture of it tomorrow they are about an inch taller than the cab and miter cut now. Im hoping to have master craft 315 75 16s on in the next few weeks. She is wound out right now cruising in overdrive im guess it has 4.10s being that its a dually. o i painted my mirror mounts today black and the stacks ill paint tomorrow. Shes coming together nice now im about ready for some r&d parts now

Those are some cool mirrors. Interesting how they use the stock "7" brackets.

oh wow and it's 4wd too.whatever the vin says she was,she isn't anymore.unless you gave at least 8k or so for her,you got a deal on a 4wd,crew cab,dually,diesel.rust free and clean to boot.
your probably 1 of 1 with that combo here in the idi section.

if it's got power windows,locks.cruise,a/c,tilt wheel then it's really an xlt like the chrome grill and headlight bezels suggest.someone spent a lot of coin and time setting this one up.not a truck anyone plans to ever part with.
your lucky she's got a zf5.it's the only thing that keeps me from tracking you down and steeling it!
