Ran and mounted new brake lines, new KYB shocks and new fuel lines, did I mention the Holley EFI install? Also vented fuel tank.

Went back and forth about cleaning up the rear look of the truck...roll pan or bumper, went with roll pan seems more hot rod. Had the body shop paint it... now I'm up to $1K in autobody charges.

Nice. Suspension mounts look much cleaner AND stronger.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is the black rubber piece aft of the springs? Looks like a cushion or air-suspension or something.

Reworked the front stay bar for better clearance, the guy used sockets as spacers, when fully turn the bar would hit and bind
