    Edit: not thinking clearly on the sway bar...

    Anyways Mid travel or LT not going to play a big difference in on road handling. You need to tune the suspension (Spring rates\valving)

    Negative ghost rider, as the spindles now are 2" further from where they were, making the mounting points unusable for the stock sway bar

    I was hoping to get some photos inside this cool little house (that used to also be a diner) but "no photography" allowed — uhg!

    So I did the typical tourist shot out front

    I took the long way and some side roads on my way to the gym just to see what I what I see and saw a concrete platform up against a railroad track and just felt the need to put my truck on top of it. After getting out to enjoy the view for a minute I figured it was a good place to snap a few random photos :D

    Thank you so much! When I saw the graffiti thats what actually made me want to pull out the camera — love graffiti!
