No, I deal with negotiating pricing and other allowances from our OE vendors like Peterbilt to save the company money($4.5 mill as of May). I report directly to the VP of procurement Lynn Cornelius and our COO Mike McRoberts.

Ok fellas, let me start off by saying that the install location ( hotel parking lot ) was not the most level which left install very sketchy at times. But none the less, she's leveled. Sitting quite high actually. Here's some pics. Havent got to drive her yet but i cant wait. I'll get the alignment done later this week. c018d1dd1e5ec8e185ecde6c3cd55200.jpg

Got a little update. Rear Bilstein 5100's are installed. 7 pin wiring harness and bed mount installed. Also here's a late pic of the track bar installed from a few days ago. Will be trying to get the b&w install kit done tomorrow and maybe getting the airbags done.

Little update on rear bilstein 5100 rear shocks for you guys thinking about changing. It feels too soft and while driving it and going around long turns or having to make a sharp turn, you can feel the rear of the truck have too much sway like its too soft. Going to go to bilstein 4600 direct replacement shocks. While they are softer, i need something more stable for the rear end, especially if towing a 5th wheel

Yes sir. Originally, I painted them all white, but then I found out the hard way that you're not supposed to paint the reflector around them projector because it gets too hot and they started burning. So then I had to buy another set of headlights from a wrecked truck just to get the Chrome bezel from the headlight and unseal my headlights and redo them. That was a pain in the butt.
