I noticed a huge difference in the handling too! The truck feels much more balanced.

I think it looks the way it should have from the factory. It is a subtle mod until it is sitting or driving next to a stock one.

Oversteer is much more controllable.

I have some pics MUDDER and I took last weekend. I am trying to upload them now. When I do, I will add them to my signature.

Question

Do the 2 inch drop shackles take anything away from towing? I tow a 2000 lb. trailer almost everyday approx. 150 miles or more! The tongue weight is about 350 lb.. Any info will be greatly appreciated!

Cool

I towed a dual axle trailer loaded to the hilt along with the bed of my truck from washington state to san diego then to albuquerque new mexico...not a problem and cruzed at 65-70mph. Had to put the receiver hitch in upside down and reverse the ball though.
