Yes, Chad. I got it sometime last week. I've just been very busy, and with the crazy weather lately, I haven't had time to start checking things with it. I did the front/rear swap thing yesterday, then had to switch it back and put it back in the garage.

Thanks for the compliment.

Yes, it's stressful. I'm gonna do some measuring with the wheelrite tool to make sure that I can fit a 10" wheel and 295 tire in the rear. It tends to look as if my budget wheel plan isn't going to work out as I was hoping, so I ay start talking to my body man about putting tubs in the bed. Now would be the time for that before paint is applied to your bed.

Yeah, the front is fine, and the rear on a fleetside is fine for that, but the stepsides have less room in the rear.
