New progress pics!

I dont know about you guys, but i love progress pics! Acouple more in my gallery, rear axle mounted, c- notches installed and brake booster mounted.I'm not sure about the ride height though.I think i want to be a little lower in the rear.I may move my front perch up.Im not sure......what do you think? I have to mount the gastank, assemble the rear brakes, run fuel and brake lines, spraybomb the rest of the frame and the chassis is done.Then its back to body work . Then assembley!May 1st here i come!

Looking good, looking good. Cleaning the frame would have been so much easier for me if the cab was off my truck. I think the stance will be nice once you get the sheet metal on. Are you using the stock amount of leaves on the rear? I ask, because when I flipped my springs, I got alot of lowering in the rear, and I had the same setup as you in the front.

Looks good, keep the pics coming!

I am using the stock amount in the rear, 6 I think?Im not sure if i want to remove any leafs from the rear because i will most likely use the truck for hauling stuff around.Im thinking of moving the spring perches up to the top of the frame. I may wait till i put the metal back on the frame and see how it sits the way it is now though.I want the stance of the truck to be even front to rear and low!
