    Gerat pic of your wife ,including the Stew Leonards bag.

    I worked for Stews in Newington, the reason i mention that is they hav a wall.in the store with people holding the Stews bag in various locations around the world.
    Your pic would certainly qualify.

    I prefer it personally lol. It's why i have a sport. It is badass!

    EDIT: The hood scoop isn't the only reason lol I would have gotten a pro if it wasn't for the stupid mark up for an inch of lift..

    I just did my 2 inch leveling kit in my apartment's parking lot. Took me about 3 hours for the front It was my first time doing anything to my truck, never done suspension work on a truck before. I'm putting in some 1.5 in rear blocks tomorrow.

    It's easy enough and you definitely don't need a garage to do this. Just make sure you have all the tools, jacks, and jack stands and you'll be good to go.

    If you have the whole shock assembly already put together it'll probably take 1 hour to do the whole front on both sides. I'm down to help too since I do own power tools.

    Thanks bro I really appreciate it! I am doing a 3 inch in the front and 2 inch in the rear. Also adding an airlift bag set with wireless remote to give me more room to add weight in the bed. I’ll hit you up when ready. Don't forget to add some pics.

    I've done bags on 2 of my previous cars before. I can't imagine on a truck is too different. I think they should work the same way or at least very similar?

    Tell me more about the cars and bags. Do you have any photos?

    I have a 63 Falcon convertible that some day I'd like to drop. To get it on the ground, though, I'd have to build a universal set up as there isn't a kit with that much drop.

    Wife is going out to lunch with two of her friends, for one of their birthdays, and then doing Escape Room here in Danbury. So I'll be spending some time with the kiddos and doing the best I can to be a good dad.

    Thinking about taking them to Chick-fil-A for lunch, followed by some ice-cream. We'll see what happens. :D
