    :drool: Nice truck. Get some 5100's for the rear, they are meant to be used with up to around 3" of lift.

    Don't forget the leafs will settle out.. but yeah, new shocks would probably be a good idea.

    Muffler is toast.. actually the exhaust note is nice with that hole there. :D

    I have to take it to the dealer for the hammer test again.. Get a feeling it ain't gonna pass for much longer.

    hmm.. maybe I can get the dealer to put the coils and other front end stuff on. :D

    Mine were horrible (LOUD!!) for the first five miles or so, before the front end work, and are sort of noisy now. Unless I'm driving with the window down I can't hear it but there is still a squeak. Saw a thread on here about removing/lubing the friction pads in the pack to stop it...not sure I want to start messing around with that just yet. I just deal with the noise knowing that if I'm hearing squeaks, the new set up is doing its job!

    ...let me dig for that thread...

    Found it!

    Haven't heard the springs squeak except for when I climbed in the bed and jumped up and down the night I installed 'em. :D
    Do a couple burnouts, that should resolve the squeaks. :D
