    Not yet. I'll be getting the 4-corner weight of the thing this month so I can have some custom leaf springs made for the rear. I'll post the results when I have them.

    Speaking of leaf springs, I told my fabricator that I'll be replacing the rear suspension again and that I'll require his services. The conversation that followed went something like this:

    Him: "What's involved with this 'new suspension' you're ordering?"
    Me: "Everything. Hangers, shackles, leaf packs, etc. What's on the truck rubs the frame and needs to go."
    Him: "You can't reuse the hangers that are on there?"
    Me: "Nope."
    Him: "Damn. I welded the shit out of those too."

    It'll be a shame to lose the extra reinforcement he added when installing the Giant kit but the improved performance will make it worth it.

    It's gonna suck grinding all that stuff off the frame but I'll get it done. My time's cheaper than his for stuff like that. ;)

    ^Exactly how it was done on my truck. Build the cage in place, drop it through the floor to get the 360 degree welds done, raise it back up and you're good to go.

    Jumping my truck is the equivalent of this:

    Im not sure how CA is but I would say get a light. You can use the same wiring and any small light should work. Doesnt have to be pretty just needs to be legal :thumbsup:
