The ones I got were from Ebay. I really think they helped the look of my truck because I always thought it sat too high for a 2wd. I think those giant wheel wells still make my 18's look really tiny though. Oh well, check mine out and see what you think.

It looks pretty good. I want to do a 2/2 drop on mine. The shackles are the way to go for the back, and I'll probably do springs in the front. I actually like the rake.

Oh hell yeah they really do help out the way the truck looks. I thought the same thing like that for a 2wd it really did sit so damn high. Also ur truck does look pretty badazz i like ur truck but what you should do like i did is take off the little emblem but V6 Magnum. I took that of mine an i think it looks better. that tonnue cover shure does clean up the bed of ur truck. But overall nice truck!!!

I love the clean "no emblem" look but there is something about that V8 magnum one that makes me feel like I might really regret it if I took it off. I polished my wheels the other day and I had it looking pretty good but I have had it down a dirt road since and it snowed last week. Ill try to get a photo album built for it when I get a chance to make it look better but you never know with this crappy Kansas weather.

I have no idea as far as voiding the warranty. My truck is a 99, so warranty is no longer an issue. The difficulty level is like a 3 on a 10 scale. Jack it up, set stands on the frame, then jack the rear end up until it takes the pressure off of the rear springs and take out the 2 bolts that hold the stock shackles on. The only problem i had was getting the bolts out with my reciever hitch in the way, so I had to take it loose, not a big deal jus took a little more time. You had to have a big torx socket for 2 of the bolts on my truck, as far as I recall that is the only tool you need that isn't common.
