    Nope. That's on the list when I do the rear shocks after this semester.

    I went out if course with the notion that I wouldn't do that..but..of course I did.

    How did it handle? Worth it? Would love LT one of these days...

    BTW, you have solid engine/Trans mounts or is that also on your "to do" list?
    Did you ever doubt? :p

    Well..peer preassure..lol

    :goingcrazy:

    Handles awesome. I can't wait to dial it in to make it better. And the rear. But I can hammer way way harder then I ever have been able too. Well worth it.

    I have trail gear "solid mounts" for the engine in already and the 4xinnovations tranny mount. Will gusset the motor mount perches though of course.

    Did you get a chance to look at the body/bed alignment that I mentioned earlier? Looked kinda fucked up.


    I'm alive, and more importantly I made it to work on time. :anonymous: Drove straight through, got to the house @ 2:18, clocked in at work at 2:57.

    Crazy John, that's a bear of a drive!

    Got to drive Frank today :D So damn exciting, it has lots of character and the new front end is niiiiice. Spots where my truck truck would blow into the front bumps Frank just ate it up (obviously...). Got a bit of fine tuning to do but so nice already!
