    Please do.......I'll make the time to meet up with you. And if you're going to be in the Tampa area, I have extra bedrooms. Nothing like a home cooked meal!! For clarification, I won't be doing the cooking unless we're grilling.

    update......

    Hey Guys, After the dust settled, still have some rear end "hopping" from 46 - 50 mph. Above that, 90mph so far, smooth as glass. I now believe my problem to be in the driveshaft complex. This is a link to a very long thread on another site and it seems my symptoms are very common. http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum30/index3.html[/URL]

    This will be my first dealings with a driveshaft fix and was wondering if a local shop here in Charleston,SC would do or should I order on from a specialty shop with bettter u joints,etc. Finally shimmed the carrier bearing a full inch and it helped or maybe it's just me wanting to believe it's better. While under the truck I noticed that the carrier rubber bushing had about 3/8 - 1/2 inch of play while moving the driveshaft back and fourth. Is this too much?
    Also, there were 2-3 inch tears in the middle of the rubber on both sides.

    Now that I have my truck looking the way I want it, I'm on a mission to improving the ride as much as I can. This is with the understanding that my choice of rims and tires will hinder me some. Just ordered the "new" Velvet-Ride shackles made by www.Sulastic.com, then I'll address the driveshaft issue after deciding wether to go local or order, then If needed I may look closer at my choice of lift which is www.cageoffroad.com 4". May even go with the Talon suspension. Any thoughts or experiences are greatley appreciated.

    I dunno.....but someone on another site was talking about using centramatics with the 10 lug adaptors with great success. No idea how they work, but some people swear by them.
