There is grade 5 hardware all over your truck it's not a big deal. SAE (society of automotive engineers) only specs out grade 5 hardware to pass safety for a few off road racing vehicles I have been involved with. A grade five bolt with just a small increase in diameter is as strong as a grade 8 bolt.

Have a question without getting off topic. Saw a post about lifting IFS trucks and CV angles. Since this is my first IFS truck (besides my wifes grand cherokee), can I simply crank on the torsion bars to level the ride without any problems? My truck sits about about 1 to 2" lower in the front than the back.

the best thing about body lifts is it doesnt change the way the truck rides. alot of times after putting on a suspension lift your truck will ride differently. me personally i like a smooth ride. so if i wanted bigger tires on my truck i would go with the body lift!!!

I HAVE THE PRO COMP 5 INCH LIFT ON MY 02 RAM AND I LOVE IT I RUN A SET OF 35 1250 18 TRUXUS MT'S AND IT IS THE SMOOTHEST RIDING LIFT I HAVE FELT ON A NEW DODGE TRUCK MY FRIEND HAS THE SKYJACKER 6" LIFT WITH 35'S AND IT RIDES LIKE A LOG WAGON. I AM GLAD I CHOSE THIS LIFT FOR MY TRUCK ANY OTHER AND THE RIDE QUALITY TO ME SEEMS TO BE HARSH.
