Well for the most part it's done. Pics have been posted in my gallery. Just some tightening to do, hook up the front drive shaft and deal with a trackbar mount issue that is going to be the death of me.

I think it looks better, my wife on the other hand cant see any difference and thinks I may have fallen on my head.

I only wish it was a persian rug. Some stray weeds and gravel. You should see my back and shoulders.

That looks really good. Now you gotta get some bigger tires to fill out those wheel wells. Good work, I like it.

Go dumpster diving behind a carpet store or a flooring shop. New carpet that is thrown away because its to small for any thing but a pickup bed or to lay on.

Yes it looks good. But I have always wondered if the ride is lighter or harder after this mod. And how does it handle a load over stock?

Good question, it would change the weight ratio around.

Well after a little driving here is my impression. If this makes any sense it is a rougher ride but a smoother ride at the same time. I can feel more of the road but the ride does not seem to be as harsh. I pulled the 5th wheel during the week and all was good.

One thing I need to add is that the tech. guys at Procomp were great to deal with. I called three times before I pruchased because of the fitment issues.
