thanks for clearing that up drew i ordered the kit today from autoanything. 1250 including shipping. i like them guys i have been calling so much lately they have given me some great discounts lol think i may have helped them pay the rent for the month. the kit will be here friday so saturday morning i can begin. i went and brought the bolt from my stealership. damn thing was 5.08. i know i could go to a hardware store and get the bolt for some change but hey in a few more days im going to be riding low. was wondering do i need to get the truck aligned with the factory wheels or the 22s.

You will need an alignment after you finish.

That bolt won't be easy to cut off. I'd suggest a torch or somthing HEAVY duty. If you torch it off though, be aware thaty the gas tank is VERY close. Cover it with wet cardboard or somthing.

I tried using a sawzall, but it flattened the teeth on two blades before it even scratched the bolt... that's why I went ahead and dropped the tank.

Good Luck. When you get ready to install it, feel free to email me or call me. I can prolly help. Most of these guys can help too.

doh and i just got back from my dads house borrowing his saw saw. i have a blade that says its suppose to cut mild steel but if i cant get it what way then i guess that ill burn most of the gas out of the truck and leve it on e. wonder if i can get my air grinder in there i have a small one that i use for some things. its about the size of a regular soldering iron. ill let you all know how things go once i get started. cant wait to see it once its done. i called the dealer and they want 500 including alignment. so i guess its me, the kit and s fun saturday and sunday about come

I tried the sawzall and flattened a blade. Then I tried the torch with not much luck. The gas tank is literally right there. Then I dropped the dang gas tank and had to replace the bolt anyways since I had cut and torched it....... Should've just dropped the tank in the first place, it would've been a lot easier. Oh well, live and learn
