    Looking back at your exhaust route I just might have to do something similar to what you have going on. Running a tube inside the new bed cage and dump out the passenger side fiberglass bedside. Behind the axle. So if your looking at my sig pic somewhere above the angle cut in the glass, under the smiley face decal I have. The bedside in front of the axle is way to narrow on a DC to try and fit a exhaust tube there. So thanks for the idea, in a way.....

    But I built it to do that.


    Really need to get my act together on limit straps though. Listening to the shocks top out in that first video. :eek:

    I've made so many changes it's hard to say anything for certain on those. :notsure:

    No complaints I guess. Didn't seem like they were too stiff, but it seems like there was less movement in the cab while watching the bed in the mirror.

    Yeah the front looked like the it was a little spongy haha

    But you want the rear to be better then the front. So i'd say you're in a good spot.

    Unless that 2.5'' LT kit turns out to be amazing, only other option is LT up front......which i say yes do it!
