    More caster on the right compensates for the crown of the road as well. Keeps it from wandering right

    Does that work? I thought 2 gen trucks couldn't use those. Maybe I was miss informed. Let me know if it works.

    They work! I have been running mine for six plus years. Odometer is dead on and speedo has 2 mph factory cushion with +1 tire size, and soon to be 285s. I will be able to correct that by simply plugging in my laptop and adjusting the aftermarket tire size.

    Here is a post I made way back when I installed mine.

    I trimmed 5" off the front mud flaps after work tonight. Little tedious but not bad. They really made those things looong. What's a good thing to use to take the white paint off the 4x4 on the rears?

    Sweet. Thanks for the tutorial! Do you, by any chance, have the CD that came with this thing handy? Any chance you could zip up the contents and email it to me, or something? I would like to play with it and figure out what ratios I need, while I wait for my calibrator to arrive. I tried downloading software from their website, but the file they have online is corrupted. It won't unzip correctly.

    I think I took 6" off mine, and I agree that they were way too long. I am thinking about trimmingb the rears as well and that will take care of the 4x4 logos.

    Sure thing, probably be a while until you have to worry about frosted mirrors but when you're ready just get in touch.

    A lot of people are seem to be looking into the Pro headlights right now with the deal going on. Should be a nice subtle upgrade.

    Dropped it off at the car audio shop. Keeping the stock head unit for now. Getting Alpine components up front, rears, 5 channel amp, and a 10" enclosed sub installed. Rental agency gave me an F250 super duty for the price of a compact. Tempted to take it wheeling.
