    @DrFunker @DC2010 Doc, Dave was looking into a 5100 setup with JBA UCAs and he is still undecided about the rear lift stuff, if he wants to stay with his block or do something else. How are you liking the Dakars with the 2nd overload removed?

    I like it. It is slightly springy due to the shell and platform in the bed. But it is so much better than OEM. Doesn't bottom out like the OEMs did.
    I still have the overloads in the basement. Was toying with the idea of throwing them in to see how it feels.

    @tacobell007 Drew, I have a few things that I have been collecting for the truck. Any chance to that I could get in with you and Levi?

    Probably won't be too different of a ride, my guess would be just the extra .5" of height

    Yes, it is about that much more height. One of the main reasons I took them out.

    Yeah, UCAs + new bolts, new front brake lines, spark plugs, maybe new pads and rotors.....
    I know I could do the plugs. Would rather be close to someone with the know how, if I do that though.
    Maybe a few other things.....nothing major (yet). :D

    If you think you can do plugs, then I think you could do pads and rotors

    Fair enough! Maybe we can have Levi let you take the brakes apart and then put them back together once the UCAs are in
