Do tell Stan, how would you use it?

No big mystery, Ray. I run a small business and I have a lot of projects going at any given time. There's a lot of instances where a small runabout with an open bed would be handy.

I use trucks every day, and they are (aside from labor) the greatest single cost of doing business. Trucks are a necessary evil and the bane of my existence. I'm always looking for an edge in some unconventional way.

You might want to decide if the kit fits the 2010 or before model or the  2011 and on model.

BTW 2009-2010 have fully independent rear suspension but a bit smaller inside cabin, but they are better built. IMHO, if you fit it them. 

2011-2012's are new body style have a bit more cabin space and would have an I-Beam rear suspension which may or may not make a difference in what the kit can handle in terms of weight.   Just saying those facts may help you to choose the model you want and the interior options you want. 

For a go around to get an AC compressor etc you might find it handy.
