    yes sir. AAL in the rear along with the block that came with the procomp kit. and unfortunately no regear. the truck actually pulled fine. MPG was not all that great but if i drove it right I average around 14-15mpg city/highway. If I drove it like all these young punk would do. 11-12mpg.

    If you want a ridiculous amount of lift, might I suggest buying a GM product... those assholes all seem to go for 18" of lift because they think its funny to look truck drivers in the eye... :rolleyes:

    And while you're going for bad decisions, might I suggest a body lift while you're at it...
