New Guy from St. Louis MO

I thought I posted my newby status here a couple weeks ago but I don't see it. Maybe I needed to wait form my dues to go through.

Anyway here's a pic of my 2002. She's very well cared for.

Welcome! Check out the MKLO (Missouri-Kansas Lightning Owners) forum for local Stl, KC and other gtgs and local events. And since you're on the eastern side of MO, check the ILLNESS gang's forum.

Nice truck!!!! Welcome to the NLOC

Thanks guys! I really love the truck. I don't care for the Comp Eng. Traction bars the previous owner put on. The bottom out too often on bumpy roads, but it hooks up like very good.

Any recommendations on switching back to factory and bolting on something else? These traction bars require the rubber bushings to be replaced by a machined steel insert. I'm pretty sure that's what makes them bottom out easily on a dip or bump in the road.

I will post this question on the board as well.
