Smile Re: PB bagged 69 stepside-because Leon asked...

Since Nate also asked concerning my "disappointment" with the ride quality, to avoid further confusion or misunderstanding, let me say that the ride quality is not a disappointment at all. The truck does not ride poorly. It is a vast improvement over stock, both in the stiffening of the chassis via the beefed up components, and the allowance of greater clearance at a much lower ride height. The ride of the bags feels very good. I was simply imagining a "sports car" like corner carving, but we have to remember that I hadn't just magically sat in a Porsche, I hadn't driven the truck in 9 months, I stupidly decided to run the power rack manually since I am running the I6 and couldn't find power steering brackets, and my throttle cable via the 71/72 pedal rod to cable swap was sticking dangerously. So my expectations may have been slightly off. That said I definitely recommend Porterbuilt as the kit was very nicely done and Nate, and Dave were great to deal with. Thanks!
