    Hey, OP. Great choice in a truck :D

    Did you notice any difference in the sound, performance and/or economy after you did the 'mini-header' install ? I'm thinking of doing this even though my current manifold is OK.

    Called wheelers since my order hasnt been processed yet-had them add rear 5100's and the longest U bolts they had (figured I could always lob off whatever I didnt use). I was confused whether to get the 5100's or 5125's....5125' were about $10 cheaper...


    I'll lop the exhaust off before the leaf springs, right now im learning towards OMD springs and add them myself (how long should that take, any special tools?)

    Cant WAIT hopefully I'll be able to start friday after work (2pm) and have the front installed by saturday @ 6pm otherwise I'll be outta a truck monday

    Should I rent a lift or just work on the ground? (About $5 hr more for a lift)
