Updated for holiday season 2012,added black ebay heads, pending to get my oem housings painted. Finished my new box build for two 12" alpine, and warapped in mossy oak and beige carpet. Painted the port black. Added spike lug nut covers to my rims as well. Now just need the bed cover off so can get my bed sprayed with line x and throw in a low profile tool box!!

Put a leveling kit on my 05 FX4 SCrew now the 275/65 18 look tiny but need replaced anyways. I was thinking 275/70 18 would fill up the wheel well any suggestions? AT tires by the way.

Use code FRMF15015 for 15% off

Just enter your year and model it will come up.
also on install some of the directions are wrong. the hole for the bar bracket that mounts to the shock mount was not there so I had to drill that, and also it says to un-clip the brake line from the driver said its actually the passenger side. at least that the way it was on my truck

I adjust and made sure everything was still tight on my sway. Also found out my Passenger UCA was shot, and that was what was causing the clunking i have been here for the past two weeks while turning and hitting bumps at slow speeds.

So i ordered Moog LBJs and UCAs that are greasable, once i get those in I will really be able to test the sway bar
