DO IT! Just put mine on today and I was seriously blown away at the difference in ride. Way less bump steer and just much much smoother suspension, I love them. Plus the new uni-ball joints are so incredibly beastly, shouldn't ever be worn or need replacing like my stocker which were destroyed.

I have to assume that your truck has been relegated to car show only status now? Drive that on the street and it will inevitably be impounded, at least according to Illinois Vehicle Code - 625 ILCS 5, Section 12-608 :
"...Maximum bumper heights are as follows: Maximum Front Maximum Rear Bumper height Bumper Height All motor vehicles of the first division except multipurpose passenger vehicles: 22 inches 22 inches Multipurpose passenger vehicles and all other motor vehicles: 4,500 lbs. and under GVWR 24 inches 26 inches 4,501 lbs. through 7,500 lbs. GVWR 27 inches 29 inches 7,501 lbs. through 9,000 lbs. GVWR 28 inches 30 inches It is unlawful to operate upon any highway of this State any vehicle with a front bumper height that exceeds 28 inches or a rear bumper height that exceeds 30 inches, regardless of the GVWR of the vehicle, except those vehicles covered by Chapter 18b of this Code."
So what do you drive when not trailering your truck to shows? And what do you use to get INTO it !!!!! Looks as if children & ManualF150 could walk underneath with OUT ducking! J/K'ing ;-)
