Thanks. I have no clue how fast she was going. the posted speed for the road she was on is 45. but the whitness (who was behind me at the light) said she was going well over the speed limit. The worst part about it is the rental i got is a 1/2 ton silverado that is that nasty burgandy pinkish color chev uses. Just pouring a little more salt into the wounds.

Thanks to all for the well wishes. Not sure what is going to happen right now with the truck i will keep you all posted.
Would you buy the Fabtech lift again.....when you do it all over?

Any side shots of your truck, before the wreck?

Just trying to decide how the 4.5" will look with 35s.....

Yeah i would buy it again. I like the kit the only thing that was a pain was during install on the passenger side. when you get ready to pull the arms off the top arm bolt is put in so that you cant get it out without pulling the downpipe.... unless you have a sawzall! the new kit come with a replacement bolt but the stock ones are pretty tough.

wow, sorry to see those pics. Funny thing, I was under my truck this past weekend and looked at those control arms and thought to myself that they don't look very strong. Well these pics answer my question. I guess they aren't

I have no clue. the posted speed is 45 but the witness said he thought she was going well above that.
Thanks again to everyone. I am very happy that my wife was not with me at that time. We are going to find out this week what the fate of our truck will be. i will keep you all posted.

Well man sorry that happend glad to hear your ok it is a good thing your wife wasnt with you. Well insurance should take care of your truck even if she has minimum coverage and im sure your insurance will take care of the rest. HAHA and that does suck about your rental when mine was totaled I got a Suzuki SUV atleast you got a truck.

Speaksup: yeah its true it is still a truck. The only thing i have found i like about it is the climate controls.

Calebs: Thanks. the verdict is still out on what will come of it but hopefully i will find out more tomorrow. I am hoping for the best. who knows i might not even have time to worry about it if the kids decide they are ready to come. which looks like a good possibility.
