Thanks guys! Yes THE PLAN is to eventually go with a 5 Sp. , 2" BL and 31's so this would work fine for now. Better to get a clean straight auto rust free truck and rustproof as much as possible now.
Mechanically anything can be done / modded later with less time / expense. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/coolg.gif" alt="" />
