Yup I vote no bumper for now. Glad to hear you like the suspension so much! This truck so far is EXACTLY what I want to do to mine, even have the same bed and cab configuration! The only thing I question is the rear tires look to be favoring the front of the wheel well rather than the center.

Yeah I noticed that too. It will be fixed if we totaly redo the rear suspention

Swap bumpers when you get a new one. A truck looks unfinished without one.

The Axel travels on an arc, not straight up and down. It should center as the springs compress

I guess it doesn't like wheel spin at 80 then grabbing

to much fun? whats that mean? LOL

but yeah.... this truck is a absolute blast. My poor 05 is going to be setting for a while.

I might have got the front end air born a few mins ago. hard to say with out someone watching from the outside but it was for sure a hard hit and it soaked it up awesome!

I want to do something different with the exhaust. Not sure the stack is doing it for me with this project. Anyone have any ideas? Still want to keep a "race" look to it so stock exit is a no go for me on this one.

Flip that elbow upside down and just dump it under the bed. Mine is dumped at the start of the bed with a 45 that is turned about 45* towards the tire.

:whs: or a full dump exhaust(dumping over the axle). I think it'd be perfect, not really noticeable and it sounds good too.

Sent from the bayou.

That's a race as it gets. Since you're dumping the box sides at some point why not run it out the box right in front of the rear tire, flush mount with a trim piece around it.
