    Nice truck! I had a 97. I loved it. Plus i sold it for 100 buck more than i bought it for, just to prove a point to my wife.

    I'm sure it'll look awesome. I felt like I made a huge step myself by getting some rims mounted yesterday.

    Body lifts suck...evidence off the increased stress on the mount bolts and mounts...all 6 washers are like this. Heading to ACE right now to get some shorter bolts.
