    Do you think I will get vibes eventually from not lowering the CB? I know a few guys that actually got more vibes after installing a drop... if I'm not getting them now, I think it'd be silly to buy a drop now. Only worry, I guess, is u-joints. Is that what you're taklinging about, Monte?

    lol the off-center hendle is one of my favorite parts too! I't going to be even more noticable when the bumper goes one since it's got a hitch right in the center...
