I have 35s on a stock 1500 suspension.

Yes sir. It's originally a 2500 but previous owner took the axles, coils, and less for his other 2nd gen so I put 1500 suspension under it for now as it was really cheap.

Hey guys, got the 2.5 rough country leveling kit installed. Also put a steering gearbox stabilizer and a new posi-lock actuator in too. Truck looks MUCH better now after the leveling kit. Now to move on to the interior lol, ( yeah I said interior lol ). A/C is dumping water into the passenger side floorboard and it once being a farm truck the dirt and oils have started coming up and souring. Basically it smells like total *** on the passenger side. I'm thinking it's the drain but don't really know, praying that it's not the core in the dash. About to put a set of 33/12.50r16s on and ride until I can really do some modification's. Thinking 6in lift with some 37s with a set of aluminum bullethole rims! Yeah I said 37s lol! Thanks for the feedback!

Likely the drain is just plugged. It sticks straight forward into the engine compartment on the passenger side...... it's also possible that air flow is just pushing the water back into the box...... So, clear the drain, and put a 90 degree elbow on it.

It wasn't I put a new bed on it ($50) and shoot it black until I print the truck plum crazy purple (bed was originally blue) and it needs rockers (my fault for high centered and now they are rusted) and two cab mounts (again my fault) also threw in some from me working on the 68 Charger
