    Agreed. When I listen to the problems of the 2nd gen it makes me love my 1st more and more.

    So instead of getting the bed Line-x'ed, I'm going to try to get the leafs, shackles, and shocks installed Saturday. All depending on if the shocks get here on Wednesday and my buddy lets me use his garage and help.

    Haha will do!

    Anything that doesn't come off easily I'm just going to cut off. I have replacement parts for everything involving the leafs. ;)

    You'll be fine for daily driving. Just do what Monte said and cycle your leafs to see what length shocks to buy next.
    Hmm, who's your 1st? Haha

    I take that as a great compliment considering how many better builds there are!

    I wish I had a double cab... :eek:

    Although once I get the bed rack on with and start trying to pack stuff I'll be glad I have the bed space. I like having a toolbox, and a toolbox in a short bed leaves room for nothing!

    I'd love to find a double cab 1st gen for a good price with low miles.

    And you've misunderstood the actual problem from the beginning.
