You have to have them on a website that will host them. I used www.PhotoBucket.com, very easy to use and FREE!

This is the route I plan on going...I'm hoping to save up for some Joe Gibbs 20's and do that exact drop. Will I need new shocks and how's the ride quality with the 3" drop in front?

quicksilverz71, your truck is totally

Bud,
The ride quality is still good. I haven't added new shocks although I would like to. When I go lower this winter, I am going to find some new shocks though.
I couldnt believe at first that these shocks were ok, after dropping the front 3" and the rear about 5". It did take away from my travel, but its not so bad. The furthest drive I took was this summer from here on Long Island to Carlisle PA, and the ride didnt suffer too much.
