Yeah mine is an outside truck haha. But i get cans of wd40 and just spray underneath to keep everything nice and clean. Plus it breaks down all the gunk sticking to the frame and up underneath and keeps it from rusting. Also gives it a nice shine to it as well.

The Ram I had with a custom 18" lift on 44's could be backed in my driveway and if you climbed on the tire into the bed you could step onto the roof. Once I had a kid it had to go. Try putting a baby up in that beast.

Might as well break that habit. It is a truck. Garage is nice for detailing and working, but it wont keep it safe all the time. My garage didn't keep my truck from getting keyed while I was out on a date with my g/f. I wasn't even that far away from it but it still happened.

vice versa here, my dad would love to lift his PSD, but mom says it would just make it more of a PITA to handle, to get in, and a money waste cause its not necessary

I haven't put in a leveling kit and am new to working on my truck, what is the level of difficulty? Any recommendations for brands? Has anyone posted a "how to" for installation, I would assume they all install the same...
