Very nice truck Rob!<br><br> I bet somebody here could probably help you bolt that bed down so it wouldn't keep popping up like that ;D

Re:DTR's Truck of the Month June 03
Thanks for the nice comments guys!<br><br><br>Jamie, I used a ball-n-socket type fittings, only one conection under the bed, the stacks are T'd off inside the bed, and both do work. When I get fuel, or am at the car wash, I have to raise the bed, and as one would expect, most people think they are "fake", but when I leave, they know they are not. LOL<br><br><br>Later, Rob

I have a 2" leveling kit in the front, and barely have I mean 1/32" of clearance running 315/75/16's on after-market 16x8 rims, because of the off-set in the rims...I need , 3"'s like you for clearance. Was that lift an aftermarket, if so pls let me know, or, did you increase the spacer on the 2" leveling kit, and same in the back??? I am jealious you know of your truck, and need advise.. :'( :'(<br><br>Thanks, Steve
