Cool, thanks.
BTW I was thinking of ording an air suspension package for my F450 pickup from Manning. My understanding is that they roll the truck next door to your plant to have it put on. Have you heard anything about this being done before? Pros or Cons on this?
thanks.

Yes they do take it next door. If you order a truck with say like a utility bed on it that is where it is put on at. As far has pros or cons i dont have anything to say. From what i have seen in the past as far as how they put beds on new trucks they do pretty good work.

Could be, but with todays assembly line practices every component is scheduled to arrive at the line "just in time", any differances in components and even paint colors can effect when a vehicle is scheduled to be built.
