Thanks! Everything ive posted so far is up to date so the way the frame sits in post #6 is still the same now. I bought it with rear springs, nitro shocks/stabilizer, raised steering arm, sway bar drop brackets, poly spring bushings, u bolts. They supplied brackets to move my hard brake lines out but im just going to buy extended hoses instead. I also need to get shock boots because they don't supply them anymore. With all that it came out under $700.

Re: Project: Rust, White & Blue

OK its been a while but I got some work done on the truck. I finally got around to sandblasting the top of the cab and pulling dents so I don't have to do it while its on the frame, then I got it primed so it wont rust. I had some help from my friend Gary so we went ahead and got the cab bolted onto the frame.

Re: Project: Rust, White & Blue

Yeah it could be a 6" but its too late now. Im not real worried about it anyway, though it should settle down a little once I get some weight on it and wear the springs in some.

Re: Project: Rust, White & Blue

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about it either. I think they look great with a 6" lift and 35's or 36's.

Re: Project: Rust, White & Blue

Except my 33s are hardly broke in and 16.5s are getting really hard to find so if they look too small my only other option is hummer tires, witch I really don't want to spend money on.
