I think it will help some if I black out the rear fenderwells. I'll probably go ahead and do that here soon.

The new tires are about 1.5" shorter than the old ones, and they weight 2 lbs less each. Hopefully with the suspension changes (less weight transfer off the front) and smaller/lighter tires I'll be able to shave a couple tenths off my 1/4 mile time. We will see

We don't speak in the house, it's a rule. We only talk though the boards and IMs

Well it's a start....he pulled off the bed rails, tailgate badges, and 4x4 stickers last night. Still gotta get him to pull the running boards and mudflaps though.

I only see shackles for the 2WD 1500's, is that what you bought?

Sweet thanks! You might want to look at DJM's shocks for your rears, I noticed that they offer a 2"-4" 4WD rear drop specific shock and it's on sale for $31.99 per right now...
