A shot from early this morning...

 

And voila'! Bed mounted spare. Now I can run my exhaust out the back.

 

Lol whats a spare tire? Mine came off years ago. Not the best idea but i keep my tires in good shape.

 

I haven't had a flat in more than 15 years (knock on wood). But sure as shootin, if I run without a spare, I'll have a flat.

 

I swear. I must have the truck suspension from hell. Got the Belltechs installed, but I had to shave the bushings in the top eye so they would fit in the upper mount.

They'll do until I get some other things done. I never wanted to spend this much time, effort & money on the suspension. Sheesh.

Next up, dual exhaust with center, rear exit.

 

I still can't believe your having so much trouble with shocks. When i installed the Belltech I has to shave a lil but the QA1 and Viking i had no issues. It took me longer to jack up and down the truck maybe a hole 15 min to put the rear shocks.

 

I was just looking at my invoice on the Viking shocks and it says it comes with 1/2 and 5/8 sleeves. (I used the 5/8 sleeves )

 

Found out that the part number for the shock bolt is different for 2013 vs 2014. I'll stop by the dealership and get one tomorrow to compare. Might explain some of my problems.

 

Thats about right.... What part of Texas your from?
