No doubt the excitement is huge. Especially when you have known about this for 2 months, but couldnt say anything.

Can't wait to see the work in progress in case I want to try it.
Fortunately my nephew Chris lives nearby. He has bailed me out several times and is a fantastic assistant.

Is the coil over going to limit the up travel or will the truck bottom out via cross member ,exhaust , ext ext.
The RideTech 4-Link is a 100% bolt-on design with minimal cutting and no welding required. C-Notch brackets tie in directly with the upper crossmember, while link bar mounts use factory bolt holes in front along with factory axle pad mounting points.
This kit mounts outside the frame in the factory leaf spring position. There is plenty of room for clearance of 12" wide rims and tires.

Thank you sir. I couldnt ask for a more patient assistant than Chris is. Keith drove 4 hours to bring serious tools and a wealth of experience and knowledge.
Assuming I make it, the task would have been close to impossible without their help.
