I do, but the only problem is that you are going to have to go down to stock tire size, loose the 2" leveling kit and take the Back Rack off. Other than that it should fit right in.

thats not that far away, just a skip across rt 7 and down 440. But are you sure the garage is big enough ? HAHAHAHHAH sounds like a sweet spot to spin a wrench, and wouldn't mind seeing you and what you have done to your truck lately....... I think Tom was workin ona place a little closer, but no where's near as interesting. will see if he notices this and chimes in.

Holiday was great for me. Check my thread in the non-drivetrain forum about my new Recon interior lights. Looking forward to the new year and new parts for the truck and quad. Mike, do the tranny stuff first. IMO, you would need that first before a 6" lift.

Anyhow, can we get this Bayonne wrench day going?

Sure, like throw those air horns in. I should have my PacBrake and air tank up and running by next week. Definetly bring that bar down so we can throw it in as well.

mike, i would def do tranny first. if you think you are gunna need to do work to it now, then do it. once u have the lift it will put more strain on the trans and could cause more problem with it.

sounds like solid advice steve, hey you don't still have that steering stabilizer bar do you ? if so shoo me a price via pm and I will decide if I want it or not. or will it not work down the road with a lift ? any list I get will have a drop pitman arm so if that helps, I dunno.

Mike, I think you are talking about his DSS, and as far as I can tell, it should work with a lift. It basically bolts to the sway bar location at the frame and the pitman shaft coming down from the steering box. I don't see how a drop pitman arm would affect it, unless I am missing something all together.

Well, I thought I was getting smoked cab lights from mom for Christmas, but it didn't turn out Now it is a matter of what the girlfriend gets me, hopefully she kept the truck in mind while shopping, nobody else seems to have

BTW, MERRY LATE CHRISTMAS TO ALL, hope everybody had a good one, and have a SAFE and fun New Year. I myself will be in PA from Sun. to Wed. celebrating <-- NOT coffee
