It's tough to let something like that go....I had mine up for sale a while back to see how many bites I get for a higher price. Some came close, mostly young kids who was only interested in sound note, and not how much TLC I put into her......I just couldn't let it go.

Hmm.... I'm not that sentimental about them...I'd let mine go in a 2nd for a decent price. I keep looking at Mustangs even when I'm not really looking to sell....

Well its not 4 link, but it was free to build using stuff I had laying around. I have NO wheel hop, and traction is a little better now. What I like best, is how you cant even tell it has any type of traction bar, appears stock.

I noticed that you welded the axle tubs, has anyone in the lightning comunity had problems with it twisting. I know the superduty crowed has the problem but that is usualy only in high torque situation ie: tractor pulls, rock crawling.

BTW, truck keeps looking better and better everytime I see it ,glad to see you keeping it.Still contimplating the swap my self and seeing your truck is not making the decision any better.
