hi all, just picked up a Atlantic blue 2003 slt quad cab w/4.7, 43,500 mi, tow package. really like the truck so far. former trucks are:

1995 f-150 5.0 2wd- good runner, rotting from the ground up, traded-in
1987 f-250 351 4wd- heavy duty truck, blew the motor (high miles)
1989 dodge Dakota v6 4wd- drove good, blew the motor (high miles)
1999 chevy s-10 4.6 4wd- way to small
1990 dodge ram 150 318 4wd, loved the truck, drove for years, rolled on black ice.

all of the trucks were fixer uppers except the s-10. really loved the old ram, hade it fixed up nice. probably the reason i bought the '03.

All I did was a 2" torsion bar crank to the front to level the truck out. The ride is a little stiff but it looks a helluva lot better.
