Come on now, run those wires behind the dash.
I would love to hardwire the XM satelite radio in, but I know absolutely nothing about how to do that.

Tips?

After Lift


It's dirty right now, but will be getting a good bath tomorrow. The shop was going to wash it, but they would have had to park it in their dusty parking lot. Personally I'm glad they didn't because I don't trust anyone else to touch my truck when it comes to cleaning it.
Welcome to the club! Truck looks sweet...

Hopefully that answers your question.
not to be a ***** but it replaces your steering knuckle, your control arms are factory iirc. I measured the spacers, I think they are 3/4" each, so 1 1/2" increase in track width altogether.

See that's what I get for talking like I actually know something.
