Removed my overload leaf

I finally got around to removing my overload leaf on the rear suspension. The ride is not as stiff in the rear anymore. I would recomend it to any of you 2wd guys out there. i have also added a black grill shell. stull billet grill. painted my fender flares. and sidepiped the truck. I am very happy with it.
What do you guys think? I know almost all of the trucks here are lifted, but i wanted a fast diesel so I got a 2wd.

I went to an ODRA 1/8 mile diesel race and ran a 9.4 at 76. Still have some work to do on that.

Sidepipe... other side.

I like trucks lowered, not lifted. M/T has somthing for my traction problems.

Got the grill off ebay and had it painted. I think it was around $150.

Good lookin' rig! I toyed with getting a 2WD and doing what you are, but I ended up need the 4WD occasionally so I went that direction. Maybe one day I can have both?????

That is a sweet ride, I always wanted to trick out a 2wd and make it super fast. Looks like you've got a good start.

You might not be able to get a good launch, but I bet the passing power will be crazy. 30-100 will go by in a flash.

Hey, that truck was sharp. We didn't get a chance to meet up on the line. The best I got was a 9.5 at 76. I ran 7 times and my mph was always 76 even though I ran anywhere from a 9.8 to a 9.5. I was the one that won the FASS system. I am getting it installed next week. I want some wheels like that!!!!!!!!!!!
