I love seeing guys get their project trucks done. Your truck turned out awesome, I love that stance. Do you have 2'' dropped spindles up front?

thanks, do you scrape much driving it around? I got TCI front end with dropped spindles and I love how it looks but I scrape a little leaving my driveway. I haven't really drove it more than just down my street yet though but has me a little worried. once again, love how your truck sits.

I gotta drive over the curb sideways so I don’t scratch the bumper. They make curb helpers for low vehicles I might buy
