Well Tech, then I got a deal for ya cuz I've decided to get the shocks. PM me if interested in those headers and I'll give you contact info.

Soooo, I just dropped $350 at the audio store for a set of USED Mb Quarts????....lol The other difference will go towards Rancho Quicklift shocks from Moe's for an outstanding price!!!
Anyone wanna buy a set of 6x9 3-way Component speaker set for the fron doors? They are Polk DB series??? They are practically brand new. I have the box and all info to go with. Make me an offer.PM me. They sound realy nice, it's just that I'm going for the ***** award! I'm a sound freak.

I would do the suspension first. It would be much safer to drive with the better shocks under there. You sig pic makes the truck look pretty level already.

What's with the 5Kmi Check-ups? My Lifetime Powertrain Warranty states every 5 years within 60 days of the purchase date anniversary,

^ ohh, it's every 5 years. Cuz i was gonna say 5kmi is a bit ridiculous especially when most won't actually ever have a vehicle for the lifetime.

my sig pic is beforeI installed and have been running the airbags. The actual bags themselves lifted me up 1" in the back, so when I go putting 40psi to tow a heavy trailer, the *** end jumps up about 1-1.5" when I empty. the Quicklifts will allow me to do 2.5" lift for now to stay level and then if I take the bags out, i can just re-adjust to 2" because the front would be pointing in the air if i left the 2.5" in there as others pics will clearly show you that. The front being lifted more than the rear is far more noticeable than the rear being higher than the front i think.

I'm assuming you are going to do the QuickLifts yourself, 'dog. I've heard nothing but good things about them.
We could use a DIY if you feel like taking pics, everything I've done is either on SFA trucks or Torsion Bar IFS trucks...

I say shocks now since youre only so far into your warranty. You can switch them back if you need to but its just a big pain in the *** to do so shocks for now, headers later

Yes I will be doing this myself and yes of course I can do a write up.I heard something along the lines that if you buy 4 9000XL's you get a free controller courtsel of a mail in voucher from Rancho. Well, what about the Quicklifts? I would presume they are the same if they claim to match up to the rear 9000xl's. They are adjustable as well.I would be buying the rear as well.

I dunno, maybe I'm askin too much? But I figure I'd call first before I buy. Gonna call moe's see if he knows about it.

I had my local dealer install my jba shorty headers and it was 250.00. They also had to do warranty work for blown head gasket like a week later. Didnt have a problem doing anything regarding warranty work...

If I could get away with running long tubes around here I would but I would instantly fail inspection. I am going with shorties bc that is the only way I will be able to pass anything around here.
