Hey there leaf sprung ! how did you lower it ? I like the way you cut your frame I cut mine in a step pattern but the way you did yours works too. When do you think thecab will be on the frame ? I am omost ready to prime and paint mine 2-3 weeks tops and I will have the cab foreward painted. I still need a box floor though. Later Mario
