Also I took my bug sheild off and put a new grill on the truck. Please let me know what everyone thinks about the changes. Theres more pics in my gallery.

Alternative source for High Torque Torque Wrench
Does your front hubs have a big nut holding everything together, something like a 35 or 36mm? If so, you will HAVE to replace them. They are single use only.
Update: I researched a past thread of mine. The part number for the nut is 6L3Z-3C294-AA. The cheapest I found it was at brakeco.com for $15.98 each. The nut is a 36mm torqued to 295 lb/ft.
You can find a torque wrench at harbor freight for about $80 that will go up to 300 lb/ft. It is a 3/4 wrench, sp you will need an adapter to fit the 1/2" socket.
This is for a 2004 2wd truck. Numbers and specs might be different for different years.
