    I know what happened. But I won't spoil it. I did drive by him after I got my taxes done and took a look at it myself

    So last night at the dealership, nothing exciting happened. I was there 10 minutes and left.

    I got home after work and inspected the frame and there was no through-and-through damage. It seems that @NwiTACO was right..it was the remaining tasty leftovers from the stock shock mount that could not get hit with a grinder without taking the bed off. I still went to have them put it on the lift and check the frame out still. So I tell them I'm here to have the frame checked and then that's when shit hit the fan..the guy tells me there's a $150 fee to just inspect the frame. Woah woah woah buddy..this was NOT told to me on the phone when I made the appointment and was only told to me after the asshole walks around the truck one time..figured I could afford that scam..I told him that was bullshit and left. I wasn't about to pay them $150 for them to tel me what I already know and then try to scam me more once I fell for the first one. Fuck dealerships.

    So I kept my $150 and my pride..had my brother (who has prime) order these for me:

    And these

    You're up against a DB?

    I refuse to vote on this based on the fact they would put a street queen vs a expo rig

    Click on my Build
    Very simple, especially with steel bumper to access the bolts. One side at a time, unbolt, jack up body to remove old bushings (I used bottle Jack on a wood block), insert new bushings (write up says to invert them, larger bushing on top), lower and bolt up. Repeat other side.

    Pics in my build as well.

    Plus the dude that owns the page is taking about future mods? When did that count?? I'm pretty sure my future plans for mods blows hers out of the water.

    Thanks dude! Should have this done Saturday morning along with the LED bar.
