That is a really sweet ride. I like the lowered without being completely slammed look. Probably makes it a more comfortable ride than the slammed ones.

The Belltech notch was nice, no longer available though, from what I could find out.

I did a DIY notch on mine.

Don't know if this is the one you were talking about. This is nice for not bad price and free shipping.
PS Almost forgot, I love your truck!!

That's a nice find. If I was doing a notch, I'd buy that.

Briansshop ,
How about some details on your Lightning's rear suspension. Those are some wide wheels and tires. Did you have to do any fab work on the bed or do they have enough clearance for the wide meats?

I love the look of the tube bumper. I think it sets off the back end of the truck perfectly. That's what's really neat about personal expression. Everybody has different tastes and the result is different trucks. Can you imagine if everybody's truck looked the same? Boring!
