finally finished the lift.went to go put on the rear shocks and theres two different shocks.so somehow a misplaced shock got into the correct box so now i have to go to corona for a new one.the rear still sits a little low than level but with the new shocks it should be extremely close to level.

the rear

front



and i know its all dirty but i will be cleaning it all up and painting it very soon.
the way it sits right now

thanks guys.and actually heres another little update.the retarded orange stripe is now painted a charcoal grey/almost black color just for temporary until i can afford all new paint.next is blacked out grill (again) and black bumpers as well as painting the undercarriage of it all.and once the shocks are in i finally get to go test out this mid travel lift.front cycles 11" and rear cycles 14" max.well its supposed to anyways

as my buddies would say "Thats BAMF" (bad *** mother ******) is the rack not as wide as the truck or is it just me?

not a big fan of the step but its your truck not mine.

you really need to make it to a meet soon, or i just should drive out there.

thanks bud.and no its right inside the drip rail.the roofs on these things are so thin it was pretty hard to have a rack that big on there but we made do.and as for the steps im not very tall and neither is my lady. they just help out allottt in gettin in this thing otherwise i'd probably throw out my back.once its painted and all that i'll probably cruise out to one.i gotta get it painted soon tho cuz im going to pismo in the end of june

Turned out great, but I guess everyone moves on to another project sooner or later...
