    The lightbar? It's just one I found on Amazon, mounted it directly to the stock bumper bracket with the included mounts.

    Got these things picked up and set for delivery later this week.

    all said and done it was 580, not terrible.

    he did said the rods were starting to get some bad spots, so that’s something to look forward to in a couple years

    trying to decide if it’s worth 20 dollars to get new resi holder things

    Got my truck all back together and took it for a test ride. And most, is all right in the world again. It's sitting around 1"higher in the back and a little bit firmer. I added a modified OME add a leaf to my dever j59 pack. I think it brought the j59 back up to were it was,when I first installed it . Gonna add some weight tomorrow and see how it feels. So far I'm pretty happy with it but I really need longer shocks relocated. I have crap for down travel on my passenger side.
