well Joe I mean no disrespect to Nate. I know he puts out a kick ass product. It depends on with version also. I just think the SD kit is a little better then Nates V3 because of less welded parts and cooler motor mounts, also the way it mounts to the frame is diffrent.

The new verison Nate has with the tubes is just crazy. I really wish I had that one.

But with that being said, Both SD and PB do the same thing.

Put some metal on my truck so I could work on my bed. I want to raise it up. Needs a hatch or two in it for the compressor and tanks. I don't know if I like the full cover thing. Need to build a place for my battery. Put the brackets on my spindles and mounted my calipers.

How are the motor-mounts better?
What else of that "bunch of stuff" is better?

I don't think he said the mounts where better. They were "cooler";) No , I just looked. Did say different and better.:waah::lol:[img]http://www.*****************/files/P-47-63-87-Raised-Crossmember-Kit.jpg[/img] http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1151724496http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1154556294

This rain wasn't cold, and it did feel good. It did rain hard because of the Hurricane coming that was near buy. And it got very windy.
Every day we got soaked. It was hard to dry our clothes because it was so humid. Not at all like the High Desert where I live.
