SpcD1500, looking good! Cant wait to see the progress move along!

I thought about that but wouldnt that give me 5 inches of lift on top of the 5.5" lift springs and 3" body lift. I dont know about you but I think my truck may look a little weird with 13.5" of lift in the rear and only 8.5" up front. Thanks for the suggestion though, but i dont think it is for me. If im missing something though let me know.

I am about 5hrs west of you. About an hour south of state college. My aunt used to live in allentown and me and my family would go out there every summer to visit.
