    Thanks! Just need the gears now lol I'm not really liking how it's driving with the 35s. Really want to get a set of 4.56s in there.

    Thinking about maybe redoing my exhaust. I think I'm gonna exit it like this and hopefully pick up an 08+ super duty bumper [​IMG] not sure when I'm gonna get it done. May not be till the first of the year

    Leaf springs are getting a little to soft so I got an add a leaf. Should be here some time today, not sure when I'm gonna get it on. I don't want to change to ride hight or level tho so if it puts the ass end up to high I may also get drop shackles to drop it back down. I don't want to crank my torsion bars up any more

    Got the AAL in. It was a huge pain in the ass. I guess I bought some special "long leafs" from zone because they didnt go in like a normal add a leaf. All the installs I have seen the people put the add a leaf in between the leaf packs and the helper spring because length wise that's where it works. Well this one needed to go in between the bottom spring and the one above it in the pack. Had to cut everything open and realign it all and if course I did it when I had no one to help so it was a pain. Anyways it gave me a lot of rake, it looks and feels like the rear end got raised 4 inches or so, I don't know if they haven't settled yet or what, but it's to much rake for me. I'm gonna measure the well gaps tommorow night and probably end up ordering drop shackles

    The only thing with that exit is that I would worry about the exhaust dust build up. What makes it worse is the color of your truck will show that more.

    Gears, install kit, clutch pack, speciality tools, gear oil, and some other stuff for the regear have all been ordered. Just waiting for it to show up. I'm hoping it's here before the 11th. If it is they will go in then

    To do the front gears lol I only ordered the stuff for the rear. Then probably wheel spacers and window tint. I don't really have anything else in mind that I can think off. Maybe 08+ super duty rear bumper. Probably just gonna save for a transmission and engine build. I'm out of cheap stuff to do lol
