Yeah, the front had no flex at all. The rear has a sway bar as well but didn't do squat.

I like the color though, kind of reminds me of another truck I know.

Is that the new truck looks good if so, how do you like?

Are you running Gibson Super Truck side exit exhaust or is that stock?

Yes, this is the new truck. I like it a lot. It's a great traveling vehicle, much easier to get the kiddo in and out of, rides way better, and nearly doubly the gas mileage. For what I need, I love it.
The exhaust is custom. It's a Magnaflow 22" muffler and some 3.5" stainless tips that I had custom installed at a local shop. I've got some better pics and a video in my build thread on DT.

That's a sharp looking truck! I just got into a Mega Cab (2006) and I am positive that it wouldn't even flex that well!

It's about a foot less. Didn't measure it, not sure why.

Really haven't done a lot to this one, compared to the power wagon at least. Most of the mods were done within the first week.

Thanks! The mega is a LOT of truck to flex.

No. I wanted one after test driving but the money wasn't right. Rebates on the diesel were a fraction of the Hemi. That plus the additional $2850 for the engine put it over $6k more. After figuring the extra purchase price and maintenance costs, Def, etc, it would have taken a very long time to break even with the higher fuel mileage. Still very happy with my Hemi.

I understand why you made the truck change, and while I like your new 1500, I could have never given up your Power Wagon for that truck. Your old Power Wagon still gives me very bad intentions!

The new truck is a monster on the street though! The 8 speed, 3.92 gears, and custom Hemifever tuning is a great package! I don't think my rear tires are going to last the advertised 65k miles.

I bet, our new Grand Cherokee with the 8 speed surprised me, keeps it eight in the torque band
