    thanks man! :) well I used cash that I had gotten from selling my bed cover to buy that drill lol...so it really doesnt count lol, It only costed about $35 rounded up to build all of this. that other one was pissing me off XD. I dont think itll fit that way since mine is a foot longer than yours is lol. plus....I dont have tiedowns up by the cab on the side of the bed like you do. BUT I can run one to the tie downs by the tailgate tiedowns, which I do have 2 of. I dont want mine doing the same thing lol :rolleyes:

    Your truck is a huge reference for mine! When you installed your spindles about how much more lift did you acquire?

    hey man! oh ya?? nice haha, ive got fenders comin in soon, so things are gonna be changing here in the next couple days. When i installed them I had probably close to 7" of lift before I lowered my coilovers to nothing. now my coilovers sit about maybe giving an inch or so of lift, im not even really too sure lol....its just there haha.

    this is what she looked like when I first got the spindles installed before lowering the coilovers
