Yea no problem Foxracer!! A little side tip - make sure you have a breaker-bar on hand! My impact gun would not BUDGE the U-bolt nuts - had to put a pipe on my breaker bar to get them loosened!!

Yea I was already figuring on re-doing my wiring with some plugs - I did that wiring a long time ago and wasn't smart enough to figure out that I MAY just want to remove the bumper some day!

this is defanitely worth the price. however i am changing to bilsteins soon. not that i dont like these shocks, it's just that i want new ones for the back. the ride is firmer then stock, but not harder. it's not bouncy and springy like the stock leaves. they also flex more. (how much flexing are you doing with a 172" wheelbase )

I installed 2.5" level kit from Tuff Country and love it. Truck sits perfectly level. It has a truck ride, but thats what I bought, a truck. If I wanted a smoother ride I would have bought a Lincolin! Now, just need air bags for the rear (towing).

i went with the all terrains, due to the massive amount of highway driving I do. I almost bought mud terrains for like $4.00 more a tire, but the 50,000 mile warranty on the all terrains was appealing! Only $545.00 delivered to my house!
