    I guess you coming to visit in here is only fair. How long till you weld yourself a front bumper? A hog would not have been so nice to your truck.

    So far so good. The first time I got an alignment they told me their printer was offline so they couldn't show me the print out. Ironically, there was a slight vibration that wasn't there before I had the alignment done. I let it settle for 2 weeks before getting it done again, although it didn't settle any during that period. Then we put another 700 mi. on driving down to hill country. 4 adults, a 90lb. dog and all our gear. It was pretty well weighed down. It settled about an inch, so I'm sitting at about 1.5" on the driverside front.

    I still need to get new tires. I figured I'd use the ones that were on it until everything settled on the lift. I don't think its going to settle any further, so I think I'll be getting those sometime soon.

    The ride feels very similar to how it did stock. Overall, I'm happy with it. I did put the swaybar back on. I bought the relocate kit from TRDparts4U after going around a corner a little faster than normal. It felt a little unstable for my liking. After putting the SB back on, it rides like it always has. I just don't drag mudflaps in some places where I did before. I'll eventually take those off.

    When I put the SB back on, I used locktite everywhere I could tell it was used from the factory and checked the torque on everything. I think I'm good to go! (minus the tires)

    I remeasured again last night. I'm not sure where I got 1.5" from...it's still over 2".

    Thanks again for all the help getting it installed!
