I stopped sucking my thumb years ago. Yea i did it through my teenage years yea i was made fun of in highschool sucking my thumb in class. . When i was sucking i wouldnt be sitting in a corner id be reading mainly. Or like i said in school. I dont know why but most of my suckings were in school. But i do from time to time have a suck every now and again ( havent completely stopped) but sure as heck not when im posting here. my thumb is like a raisin from sucking on it all these years. Its about the size of one to.
Dude... I was trying to refrain from commenting on your posts, but that was way too much information! Also, to diss jbrew to say he has no idea what he is talking about... more than a few words come to mind. And please... USE spell check

Looks good str8t six I would drain the fluid just to be safe

str8t six im loving those traction bars, i was looking for a set for my 01 a while back but i found lift leaf springs that let me remove my block and still lift it 1.5 inches over stock witch cleared up my slight wheel hop.

And lltoolj, that was on my bone stock 4wd with a 5.4 that had some wheel hop, just as jbrew said.

And besides at the end of the day, even if you dont "need" them, they look bad ***. I know we have all spent money on something we dont need just because we like the way it looks on our trucks. Thou im sure str8t needs them with that L swap

And that is on a lightning with no blocks on it, now if we could find a video with a truck with a 4 inch block(just geussing what you have) and a blower with big tires i bet you would see at least double the amount of flex.

You really need to quit while your ahead (01f1502wd says your not even ahead) and just wonder off onto another forum before sounding like a bigger dumbass than you already are.

Maybe this will help you, -

Wheel Hop: Unwanted or uncontrolled suspension movement in the vertical plane, usually this problem seen most dramatically when a lot of torque is applied to the wheels.

Axle Wrap : Unwanted change in the pinion angle.

Ladder Bar: On each side : two bars connected from a point on the frame forward of the axle, to a vertical bracket or mount on the axle so it forms a triangle, meant to control pinion angle and sometimes providing forward-rearward location of the axle.

Yea, don't use me to get embarrassed, you've got that covered.

Nice. You say I'm wrong/ clueless or whatnot and present NO evidence. Instead,- you go on about your addiction to sucking things.

What ever you say buddy....
