Barrett, consider ditching that steering stabilizer if it doesn't need it. They've been known to put too much stress and snap a tie rod. You shouldn't need it anyways.
Now that sounds scary.... However I feel as though they actually give me some benefit. And since I don't ever really beat on my truck too often, think I'll probably stick with them.

Scary link for sure though! *knock on wood* that doesn't happen to me.

I don't need to see any suspension pics, but I do need to see the pics of the Tow mirrors you were supposed to get installed on the truck.



Come on, truck is begging for them now with the added height!
Ha yeah I'm trying to let the bank account recuperate a little bit before I throw more money in it (apart from rattle can painting). Probably going to be closer to Halloween or something if I get them, thinking about possibly just painting the skull caps on my stockers now too. Girlfriend doesn't seem to fond of the tow mirrors .



But they will probably still happen anyway, just not right away. Plus I'd like to see how much the 2013 tow mirrors go for.

Well... Tell her that with the larger mirrors she could do her hair in the truck with more ease?

What is coming for 2013 again, power folding telescoping mirrors? Hello $900 mirrors! :O

Haha that sounds like a valid argument... I'll be sure to bring it up!

And dear lord I hope that is a huge exaggeration!

Yes you are perty much pushed to the bottom of your travel with the setup. Lowering the axle is next along with the steering gear.

I already got the 3" body lift but still need to buy the coil spacer and add a leaf. I really want to put it on but thinking I need to save for my 37's which is gonna take a lil bit.
