    Doesn't seem appropriate given the circumstances.

    That's worth a new truck for sure. MAKE THEM PAY!!! I try NOT to use valet where I can for that reason. You never know what these dip shits do when you are not around.

    haha, there is some truth to what gramps has to say and is why she was so appologetic...she knows how big of a knife to her bidness you could be. Could play it a few ways but either way you look at it karma is gonna kick his ass one day :D if you believe in that sort of thing.

    That sucks to hear. I had the opposite happen at a fancy hotel a few weeks ago. They put mine in the front instead of the back with all the Audis and Mercedes.

    You did the tight thing BTW. Talking to managers and calling corporate is how you get results. Punching some low life isn't going to get you anywhere.

    Ok so yes, 22" straps eye to eye. Plus the adjustable clevis adds about 3".
    As a refresher the lower part of the strap is mounted to the lower shock mount and the upper part of the strap is mounted to a crossmember I added. YRMV.

    I have a crossmember in a similar location. I have a week left to get my rear done so I figure I should be similar enough I could make that work for the time being. Rather have to be creative with mounting than have no straps first time out.

    Thanks for the help.

    Yeah I couldn't be happier with it. It's beefy as shit, and it didn't pull at all during the welding process.

    Flat black hood = no glare
    I have absolutely no whistling. From time to time depending on cross wind you can hear it dragging, but no whistling.

    Yep. About an hour ago I watched a valet driver almost decapitate a huge lifted Ford truck by driving it into a parking garage. Flew in there and then slammed on the brakes at the last second realizing it wouldn't fit. Then his solution was to floor it in reverse and fly back out into the road backwards almost running into me. :rolleyes:

    I would just get a quality bar on bumper and no retros. With LT they are bound to fail
