Got em too!!
Mine were at the door when I got home today!!!
Lets see... for everyones info, I'm going to have to run my truck with the RAS and the OEM wheels first... then put on the OEM 08 Superduty 20's next... and finally install the LANDYOT Radius Rods to get a true measure of what and how each mod effects the X.
"Poor, poor pitiful me!!" (who remembers Linda Ronstadt? Was she hot or what?)

I'd like the Hellwig rear sway bar, but haven't ordered that yet. I may do the roadmaster system first and try it without the sway bar just to see.
Anyway I got a sweet deal on eBay..... $80 + $20 shipping from CT to MI. He's got several more on auction still.

Roadmaster kit on ebay
Hello All,
I also purchased a kit for my 2003 V10 Limited4X4 on ebay and was wondering if it should have come with new U bolts. Mine didn't was was wondering if I should get new ones (longer?) before I istart the install (planned for this weekend).
Hopping I can do these myself using a jack and jack stands, I did see some pictures of one member doing it that way.
Thanks.
Tony

I used the orginal u-bolts - but you will only have a few threads sticking after the install. I made sure I used lock-tite.
Yes, jack and jack stands and yu can do it. I'm no mechanic, and I did my install in the driveway with a bottle jack, 4 stands and manual tools. Oh yeah - a little WD-40 applied to the bolt heads the night before will help things break loose a little easier.

So, I bit the bullet and ordered them. Even with the $38.00 shipping from CT to sunny SoCal, it's less than half price of normal!! Now, I just have to justify to my wife.......
Being as most of the miles I have rolled up on this so far have been freeway commutes to work, or errands around town, I can already hear her asking "How do you KNOW you need them?" Oh well, I can always give her the link to this thread!!

I have to get some and I think it comes in 2 colors red or blue
I think i'll use red since it more heavy duty.

I used the RED. From the selection at the part store, it was the strongest.
Make sure you have a good breaker bar - it takes leverage and a strong arm to break those bolts loose. They should (at least my 01 were) be a 15/16th socket. If you don't have a good/strong/forged one, I'd go get one.
