Nasty, I see you said you just cranked up the torsion bars instead of the new keys. Was just wondering how this affected front end alignment and ride if at all. Your also running 33's on factory rims with no rub. I just wanted to clarify this info. I was installing some BULLY Nerf bars on my '05 QCSB and while laying under the truck I had to take a few minutes and just stare at the torsion key bolts, and decided not to try to "adjust" anything.

New to this site, but am already so glad I found it! Lots of good ideas/suggestions on here. Great going guys, and gals.

Muscle,
I see you have a RC so maybe the foward cant is more due to a shorter wheelbase. I went up 2 and 1/4" on my QCand my truck seems to be a bit higher up front. The new keys still have more room to go up so I dont think you'll have a problem leveling it out if its still lower up front (by measuring tape) it will probably look level.(due to the massive front end IMO). I am still waiting for my rims(aarrrggghhh) they were supposed to be in yesterday but I suppose thats what you get when you order a new design. There is a great picture of the RC on the Ready Lift website. http://www.readylift.com/view.just.i...2_DSC03088.JPG

Does Magnaflow even make an exhaust for the 06-07 4.7 QC short bed Ram 1500's?

Roadglide,
Love the new Magnaflows. Very deep mellow sound. Although quieter than I thought as my buddy's Titan is louder but then again he's had his on for like 6 months now and that sound packing in the muffler breaks in and gets a bit louder with a few months. Great thing about the kit is that it comes with "band" style clamps (all stainless as well) as opposed to standard u-bolt style which crimp the pipe.(= more turbulence). BTW I like the screenname u got a Roadglide? I'm selling my chopper to buy a Streetglide.
