First off man, wow......jaw droping wow......I bet that Dak looks great. How
does the Dak feel now after the 4"/2" Lifts and the 33s? Any handling
problems or anything else? Are you going to go get you Dak's front end
aligned now?How about performance-wise, did the 33's really kill the V6ers
power? Concerning the fender flares, I would just buy some flares which come
by the roll/ft and put em on, try Bushwacker or JC Whitney catalog for this.
Sorry for the questions, but I can't wait till spring time......
