    Good job buddy. glad to see it on the ground . You should be proud. Most people pay big bucks to sas these trucks or ended up being parted out good job not giving up. Can’t wait to see it.

    thanks.

    well a bit of bad news.
    the truck rides horrible, so bad there is no way i'd take it on the highway.
    even after putting a front and rear sway bar on its still super scary to drive
    swaying side to side non stop which also effects the steering

    so options
    1. junk the whole thing Just dose not seem like the right thing to do:smack:
    2. sell the whole thing I'll need to get at least 10k for it, so doubt that will happen:smash:
    3. send it to a shop to get it fixed properly maybe:deadhorse:
    4.change the leaf springs and make it even higher :frusty:
    5.drive it the way it is and take the back roads to parry sound. maybe a 10hour tour to get there:notsure:
    6.get a trailer and it becomes a trailer queen :tumbleweed:can't no parking
    7.change my name and get a kia trail-trd-rated-wilderness kiabecon edition.:ohsnap:
    8. pour a concrete pad on the side of the driveway and permenatly bolt it to the ground. use it as a mail box:101010:

    of course i'm just running my options I have to figure this out . I'll start by changing leaf springs.

    any ideas come to mind let me know thanks.

    Don’t give up. If you want you can bring it to my work and I can get it on the alignment machine so you can get some readings before you start cutting stuff up to see where your at and what you might need to change or what went wrong .
