This looks so good.

How do you like the readylift suspension? I was thinking of going with that to lift mine but I'm still shopping around. I've also never done any kind of work on a car before so this is going to be a new experience for me - learn as I go and hopefully do most of it myself with help from whoever offers!

the ready lift is kind of a band aid for what i am using the truck right now, at first it worked great then I bought and started towing a camper on a regular basis. the longer shackles do not solve the problem of the weak leaf pack and will flatten them out sooner.


and for the front I am only getting slight CBC when I max out the flex ( doesn't happen too often in the flat lands of Saskatchewan) I am currently looking in getting a OME suspension with Dakar leaf pack replacement

ok took a couple minutes to do a quick mod on the truck today. I ended installing the 175 lbs lift struts for the rear hatch,

and I also started looking at the strobe lights that I bought recently to see if they were any bit water proof/ resistant. well from what I found is that there is no way that these are water tight from the factory. I am going to need a bit of RTV at all of the assembly joints and where the wires go into the light pods to make them any sort of water tight. Good thing I will be able to work on them cause I haven't received my switches for them yet
