    And got a little "bro lean"...or would it be "sis-lean" in this case???

    My new springs gave me a bit of "lean" by Kathy / Analog Soul Photography, on Flickr

    I'm assuming that the settling will occur...and it's got a bit of a rake at the moment, so that's fine. I will eventually do the 5100s in the front as soon as I recover from the funds spent on the parts and install for this. I also need a timing belt, so we'll see which of those gets done first.

    Interestingly enough they changed the name between 95-00 and 01-04. For yours it's called "lower instrument panel"

    Yeah our trucks are only rated for 5000, 7000 tops with tow pkg - Thats a lot of weight for our little guys. That trailer looks like a 7k or 10k rated trailer. Probly weighs 3k by itself

    Weighs about 2020 i think..Rated i think at 8000..or 9000..can't remember. But yea. Would be a lot of weight. Was over 700lbs of steel and shit on it. Plus with my 33s and the light rack and everything else...bad bad deal lol

    The supercharged FRV..MUCH better choice. Like it wasn't even towing haha
