Thanks for the offer. I may make a pass or two. I dunno. I rather enjoy just sitting back, drinking some beer and watching you get covered in gas working on your truck.

The truck looks really good man. It looks a lot lower than a 2/4 with 30" tires. I think I'm at 3/5 and it doesn't look that low on my 275/60-17's. I am going to do the flip and see if I like it better.

What is the measurement from ground to fender all around?

Tires are 29 (275/60/17). The front measures 30, the rear measures 31.

just read though a bunch of pages... why did you go from the previous catchcan and turbo filter to port on the pass side to the RX three port catch can?
