Agreed on the Fumoto. Once I run through my free oil changes I'll put one on.

Added rear Revel links, it was super easy, did 6 full turns which according to the directions is about 1/2” of lift.

I’m pretty happy with the results, I’ll have to test out at some usually spots I park at, but I think it gave back a very very slight rake. Before with the Readylift level in some instances I think it was slightly nose night.

I think it has a nice stance in those photos. I've never been a fan of the "nose high" look that many levelled trucks seem to have.

I asked, because the truck has a few minor mods I would be interested to know the history of, such as the red lettering and badge on the front and back.

It's strange how we can go to one dealership and get assaulted by a mob of salesmen. And then we go to the next dealership and no one will even come out and see if we want to look at a vehicle. We were shopping used so we just went into the used car office at McKinney. A salesperson asked us if we needed help. We told her we wanted to see the Rebel out front and that was about it. No pressured sales pitch. We looked over the truck with a fine-toothed comb and took it for a test drive.

The only issue is that they played the "go ask the sales manager game" from a distance. Every time my son made an offer, the salesperson had to physically walk all the way back to the main building and talk to the sale manager, then walk all the way back. She definitely got a work out in very windy and partially rainy weather. It's like they didn't know what a telephone was. I told my son this was just a technique dealerships use to keep you at their dealership and to avoid direct negotiation with their sales manager. But my son already knew what the truck was worth and what he wanted to spend. Their asking price was already $5,000 below what the same truck would sale for in Arkansas. It only took the sales person three trips until we had a deal. Since the truck was exactly what he wanted, I warned my son (and my wife) not to look so excited about it during negotiations.

Crest did thst when I bought my Z06. I believe that they leave so they csn listen to your conversation on their office phone.

We were going through the same thing with crest, told my wife they're not going to meet my price, let's go while he's gone.

Both the salesman and the sales manager came running back to the salesmen office.

I remember catching a math error when 'negotiating' when buying my Dakota in '96. The salesman tallied up everything by hand and I, being a nerdy engineer, had come from work so had my calculator with me. I checked the math and ended up catching them inflating the price another $800.

First side sucks trying to figure out how everything comes apart. Second side is a breeze because you know how everything comes apart.

Watched a video for taking the glass out. Was a little scary on first one, but I had a broken mirror to practice on. After doing it once, it's not that bad.
