NICE!
Take some pictures of it in the snow.
I am STILL waiting on my TG kit. Good God I am impatient. I almost ordered it but I ended up taking this girl out to dinner - $200.00
Damn! A minor financial setback that I have to recover from. lol
But it was worth it...almost.

I love how the sfa rides
Much firmer ride that my old ifs, only complaint is ifs i could haul arse over uneven roads if i wanted to and it was smooth, now i have to go slow, which is safer in the end.
another thing is the turning got worse. Parking in tigtht turns is FUn.

I know... almost is a tricky word. Women are complicated 
Tell me about the parking in tight turns. What do you mean? Is it in conjunction with your locker or just the SA itself that makes it "fun"?
I have totally changed my assessment of parking situations now that I have my rear locked. It is almost scary at times

The locker is fine, the turning ability of the truck sucks, thats all, its not HORRIBLe, jsut a bit worse than ifs. it will take some getting used to and then i won't even think about it.

. With my SFA I have been able to go just as fast on the logging roads as I did with a IFS. The only real difference is I'm not replacing idlers after every trip! I find that the SFA rides better on logging roads than the IFS did as long as you stay off the bump stops.
Once you have the SFA set up good and get use to how easy it makes the trails that were challenging before its a blast.
The only complaint I have with the SFA is the height, even with the V6 and a 3" sas swap kit the truck is huge. I'm working on getting it lower this spring.
904: I did not notice any change in turning radius, maybe I just did not remember what it was like with the IFS lol.

Who says I sped on forest roads
I save that for the roads haha, smoother run ins to jumps..That stupid idler arm issue will be bugging me this summer. I forsee me ordering a few sets of bushings from the stealer...
Im sure your truck will settle a little more, at least i hope so. If I where to sas mine I would use the 4" kit, that along with my 3" body lift might result in a high rider...
