    Thanks to DownSouth Motorsports (Micah) I am smiling a bit more.
    My early (very early) Christmas present to myself....King Coilovers!
    These will replace the standard Fabtech 6" lift Shocks.
    Since the weather is nice it may be a week until I shut down the truck to do the install....will update as it goes.
