Thumbs up DSS and Lukes Link installed

One word "WOW"!!!! I just completed the install of both of these outstanding products. A Big THANKS! to Nixter for the help as always someone on TDR always comes thru to help someone else.
The install's where fairly easy, most difficult was getting the axle bolt for the trac arm loose... dealer Blue Loctite Impact wrench was not doing it, finally removed right front wheel to get leverage with large ratchet, then the frame end ball joint was trying to be difficult but Nick talked dirty a few times and it came loose.
The DSS was simple! two people are a must and we took are time threading the sway bar bracket mount bolts into the frame so as to not cross thread them. Test drive was incredible! when I turn the steering wheel ever so slight the wheels actually move, where as before I would move the steering wheel about a inch or two before the front end would react. Definately worth every penny spent If I had to do it over again I would of bought one soon as I drove the truck off the lot.
Thank you to Darin, Marv and Johhny for there great products and Rip for the great service. I highly recommend if you are having the wander problem or loose steering feel and dont have them installed spend the money and do it. As the saying goes " I just saved myself a bunch of money by switching to DSS"
