i hear ya on the protecting your investments. i too have bent a cooling fin. i think i'm going to use a larger body for the sake of a better fit. im thinking the lst, mgt size bodies would look better on the extended chasis, what do you think?

RE: exicted about new TVPs
I dropped a set of RC Solutions X Lightning (black) TVP's on my old savage 25 (and the radio box and transmission case from an X) and love them to death....though.....they actually made my truck TALLER instead of dropping it down.....my new era roll cage wouldn't reach the mounting holes for the transmission so I put the stock roll bar on, and drilled a pair of holes through for the new era cage to mount to, and am using the gap between the roll bars to run my back pressure line with a steel coil cover over the fuel line.
made enough of a height difference that in order to mount the dodge body on the truck I had to use the taller rear body mount on the front (short one still fit fine in the back)
will post pics in a few once I get them pulled from the camera and uploaded.
