You will love your new ride. Get some new sway bars and cal-tracs. to keep the truck planted to the ground when u accel. when i got mine done right after i went off the line and my tires kept spinning lol. Hey another thing make sure if you have dual exhaust the when u drop it the exhuast does not run over the pumpkin, because the ABS electrical line runs there and my exhaust burned right through the heat shield and then through the line.

Just another note on (pun) exhaust. Things to consider is exhaust should be done after the drop is completed and if you are going to install a roll pan the exhaust usually will need to be modified again to clean up how it exits. IMO, exhaust tips have to be just right as they tend to mess up the clean lowered body line if they are hanging down. Good luck....

Hey guys, pulled out of Babes Chicken last night in Roanoke TX. I have a tapout hitch cover and i had to go over a huge dip but i didnt think it would hit since ive done it before but this time i hit and tore my steel tapout cover. Bad mistake! haha only downside to a lowered truck/car

You scared me for a minute, but I see you have a bumper and your hitch is hanging pretty low. Wouldn't happen with a roll pan as my hitch sits higher behind the plate. Besides you have to be careful winging it out of Chicken joints...
