Default Installed: Shocks and Levelling kit

I installed the topguncustomz 2" spacer and the Rough Country 9000 shocks on all 4 corners - I paid 268 to my door for shocks and spacer.

The install took much longer than anticipated, I won't say how long in fear of harrassment, but the install went way past my bedtime.

My alignment is off and I am getting that taken care of tomorrow but other than that the ride is nice - the shocks are firm but handle the bumps much better than the OEM shocks.

It looks like a totally different truck now - My tires actually look small on my truck now - the spacer seems like a solid product, well built and the customer service from tgc was great through the ordering and shipping process.

I will post pics later on tonight.

Also - does anyone know how to remove the OEM steering stabilizer - The bolt on the driver side is giving me fits to say the least[:@] - I can't get the damn thing out - any help here would be greatly appreciated.

I have tried numerous times to add photos to my gallery but it never works - I will try again though.

Any thoughts on the steering stabilizer?

This month I can't decide if I am going to get steps/spray in bedliner/heavy duty rear replacement bumper and or the OEM fog light kit.

I amopen to thoughtsso what would yall do next?

Thanks for looking.

It has helped with my mileage considerably - I gained about 1-1.5 in the city and2-3.5 on thehwy- my only complaints is setting the tire size - if I actually set it for the correct size tire - my speedo is way off - and the different setting, like the accessory time delay, horn chirp when locked etc. arn't working for me other than that it is fine - I bought it for gas mileage primarily and it has helped with that a good bit - so I am happy - but I still want to try the edge, I found a place here locally that can fit my truck onto a dyno - I am probably going to go sometime in the next month to get a baseline with my CAI - and then a ren with the bullydog installed - that way I can start to track what these products are doing.
