Thumbs up Optimus UPDATE!!!

Sort of...

I saw the truck today with the front suspension on and the new wheels and tries and...........WOW!!!! My god it is sweet looking and that is seeing it filthy, on jacks, and with no center caps. We head back for Pittsburgh tonight, but they should be able to deliver Optimus to me by the end of the week. If not, I won't see it until after the honeymoon. Don't worry, if he makes it back before we leave, I will post tons of pics!

I can't believe that after 10 months, the day is getting near that the new suspension and wheels and tires will be on!!!

Assuming the jacks weren't lifting it any (or much) they fit like a DREAM! More than a whole 1" GREATER clearance than the old wheel/tire combo on the stock suspension!!!

Any word on the rear leaf packs? That's what would be holding things up if at all.
