    I just changed my plugs and wires last night. It's been almost a year since I have sea foamed. I think I'll try 10w30 and see what happens.

    You'll need longer shocks...I'm considering selling my 5100's also for longer shocks so I'll let you know. My stock leafs were flat before too...now they don't have crazy arch but they do have some arch back.

    Around 4" with all 4 leafs. Can remove a leaf and get 2.5", or like 3" if I keep my stock overload in...which I'll be doing.

    I got in the truck this morning and realized after a long hard rain last night that my driver seatbel is wet all the way down. No carpet around it is wet so I wouldn't think it would be the windows.

    Looks good! Goes really well with the Bushwacker flares. Didn't leave an option for a winch though?

    I only wheel with groups at the moment and didn't want to strap an additional 100lbs to the front right now.

    I've got access to a plasma cutter and I'll cut the holes when I'm ready to put one in.

    That reminds me, I need to run over to Pilot to get the truck weight. I'm curious how much it ways now with the bumpers, sliders, skids and bed.
