hahaha guys well I am a UAE local and let's say not all of us speak fluent english but some do, I studied in an American University here in the UAE as well so that might have something to do with it.

Problem is, the better english I speak the worse arabic I speak, dont know how that works oh well...

Very impressive, I am jealous!

As an aside, how difficult would you say it would be for a westerner to learn Arabic?

Well ever since I installed the rollpan, took off the trailer hitch and spare tire the rear of the truck lifted itself higher, so I installed 2.5" drop shackles yesterday and the truck looks much better now.

The purpose here is the truck should remain a truck and should be able to go on unpaved roads and not be a slammed limited use street truck.

The rear was 26 1/4 inches off from the center of the rim, and the front was 22 inches. After the drop it became 24" rear and 22" front so its much more leveled now.

Ill post a pic of it getting installed, not that I did anything LOL. Cost me $300 installed and took less than an hour as I sat and drank some tea
