should just put the damn 3" body lift on there and bought some 44's and called it done. Now look at that hacked up piece of ****. Also, and I'm not 100% on this, but I think cummins recommends you run their engine with an oil pan.....

oil pans are way over rated. all they do is fill your engine up with dirty oil.
