Rear tire in picture needs air every day or two, so it's low, plus the parking space slants downhill toward the curb, so it makes it look nose high, but it really sits nice now.

Or maybe you have one leg shorter than the other causing it to look like slanted


Just kidding man.. It is a lookin good!!

The black rims look nice.. It's amazing what a inexpensive can of paint can do for these trucks.

Thanks man! I think it makes a world of difference as well. Once I get the tail lights replaced with stock ones, the only chrome on the rig will be the grill and rear bumper, just the way I want it.



Also, my headlights had been pointing at too much of an angle toward the pavement in front of me, and the lift made them much better

Today I installed a cold air intake on my 1500, sounds like a mini-super charger when I step on it. Gas mileage improved from 15.3 to 16.2 so it's not bad. Throttle response is crazy good, and it accelerates like crazy. Not to mention with the daytona suspension this thing eats the pavement in a straight line and cornering. If only it were 3" lower in the back and 1" in the front it would be unstoppably monsterous.

Finished my antenna installation today and fired up the old Royce.
It works fine but the set screw holding the channel **** to the rotary switch is stripped and needs replacing so it won't spin on the shaft.

Default Replaced the power brake booster

Thursday, I used my emergency brake, and afterward had to use a lot of pressure to brake. I could even hear a little hiss when I hit the pedal.
All symptoms pointed toward the brake booster. Took about 2 hours to replace (one bolt took about 30 min). 115.00 for a replacement. Back on the road!
