I figured it'd be pretty easy. I think It's gonna look sweet.

I don't know if I'd like it with white face guages though...

You could go with the escalade black one

I might. I haven't looked at any ideas yet as far as the face goes. I need to get the lights fixed in the cluster yet too.

So I had my rear blocks show up today or so I thought. Turns out I only got one block. So I called Summit to see if this was correct because on their website they shows a pair of blocks not just one. Well I was told that they are sold individually so the woman I talked to said she would sell me the 2nd one and waive the shipping fee. I agreed and it should be here by Thursday at the latest.

Lol I figured that price was too good to be true. Did you order new U bolts as well?

Yea I agree with you. It's definitely not clear on their site that you only get one block. On top of that other sites like Ebay sell them in pairs.

As for U-Bolts I'm going to go to the local garage here that works on rigs, and he will make me a set. That's where I had the set made that's on the truck now. They're only like a year and a half old, but I still want new ones.

So I did a few things to the truck today. While I was underneath it I decided to look over my torsion bars and keys since I'm planning on adding new keys soon. Well it looks to me like the cross member that the keys go into is bent. Now I'm not so sure I should install the new keys without replacing the cross member. What does everyone else think?
