If you wanna come down to Texas, I'll put it on for you for beer. It'll take about 6hrs if you're good with a wrench, 8+ if your a newb. It's all pretty basic bolt on though.

John, how much beer can you drink in 6 hours??? lol
hahaha sorry, just doing my numbers to see if I get with you when it comes time to do my 4/5. Coming to Houston/Galveston anytime soon?
I'm just waiting to have some cash to buy my 245-40-18 rubber.... and tha beer.
Nic, be careful when unbolting the A arms. Use the spring compressor or the jack under the A arm. One time I didn't use any of them and the setup just popped out and scared the **** out of me. I guess thats how some of us learn.

I wasn't planning on going to Houston anytime soon, but all I need is an excuse, and if you're buying the beer, that's an excuse! It would need to be during the week though. If that works with your schedule, Let me know and I can load up the tool box and head down.

How does that happen? Custom exhaust?
The only problem, which I've just fixed, was that after it settled in, the tie rods would occasionally contact the frame while turning. Bent one of them a bit, but I flipped the tie rods, and now they are almost perfectly level, and have way more clearance.

true but then you have to deal with having any issues and more chance of having issues by driving a bagged truck daily. I dont care how good you built and wired and bagged the truck theres always a chance for something to go wrong with bags. You can blow a bag, get a hole in the air line eletrical issues, valves getting stuck all those worries with a daily. Then your screwed when you cant lift your truck up and drive it home.
