BTW I'm not dissing the red paint at all. I think they look great. I'm not a fan of superlift changing the four link to what really is a modified version of fords design.
I'd leave the Skyjacker stickers on. You'll fool the kids.
My bad for not knowing the coloring changed, when I used to sell the brand it always red. I know for a while they offered a color choice. Thanks for the update.

well i definitely get alot of looks and asked questions about the paint job. I've even made some extra $$$$$$ painting some other guys lifted suspensions based on their color of choice. the bad thing about some of the guys checking out my paint job is, they are in cars driving along side of me and they get real close.

Ya, I have that happen too. My coil springs are red, I have red bushings, and my shcoks are silver metallic with red. People like to gawk at it. When I had my calipers painted red too, it really stood out.

I'm pissed at Skyjacker right now. First off, I never liked how they put stickers on their control arms. It's just cheesy in my opinion. They should be painted with the logo. But anyway, since my tires rub the control arms from time to time, I tear up the stickers after awhile. I used to just call up Skyjacker and ask them to send me some new ones, and they would just drop them in the mail. Yesterday I called, and they now have them set-up in their on-line store - you have to buy them now. They are $1.50/ea I think is what I saw. Forget that. I'll just take the stickers off and leave the arms black.

mcss8541,

You need to get the ARB diff cover like I have to compliment all that red. It would look good. I love mine.

Blacked out my tail lights, went and got some VHT NightShade and did the whole thing myself for about $25 and an hour. Super happy with the results!

181K Miles

Changing the fluids in my new to me 1997 Laramie 5.2. Gonna add a drain plug and change out the 3-4 accumulator spring as soon at it arrives. Then fresh oil and a test drive. No shifting or downshifting problems even with 181K miles on it. Have a look at
the trans pan magnet !!!! It's squeaky clean now tho.

That's pretty normal. The magnet is doing its job.
