dude i know. i hate myself for selling them. however, i paid 150 for them and rims they were on. sold the rims for 75 bucks(chevy wheels), then ran the boggers for like a year and a half, then sold them for 250. so i made some good profit and had alot of fun with them. im kinda waiting until i run across another good deal.

yea getting hung up on the brackets all the time was really my only downfall. if you have those that would be frikkin awesome. what are the bars made out of? i have some dom sitting in the garage i was going to make them out of. just was trying to figure out how rcd did it. was going to make some sort of bolt on deal so i can take it off later with ease

If you guys want to you could make an extra set of those bars for me. *wink* lol I'll pay you.
The truck looks great, love the bumpers. Can't wait to see how it sits after the conversion.

most likely. thanks for reminding me, i need to call the pick and pulls.
i can knock your ball joints out for ya while your doing your 63s or something if you want..
i think part of my PS problem is that the pressure hose goes up from the outlet in the pump then back down.. so i need to rework that.
thats up to him haha

i remember how to do them.. i went through 'em fast enough.
i replaced them a month before i did the SAS and they were already toast.
Jon wants to go to a birthday party.. so either he doesnt come, or i leave early.. pick and pull shouldn't take long. im a pro at taking that **** apart now haha.
