Sure looks pretty and clean, nice job there. Will that set up lower the front end or maintain stock height?

That is looking awesome,...is that drop spindles? and is the bolt pattern still 5 on 5 'n a half? I really like the grey to black contrast!
This is precisely what I am striving to achieve on my front end

great pic sure wish I could post pics.

Thanks all and yes it is still 5/51/2. It is all so stock height. It is not going to be a show truck. Just want it to be clean and detail. i have had show car's now it is time to have one I can go and show. But more go than anything. The wife wants a good driver.

That's a really nice clean job! New kingpins too?

Canadian_diesel - youcan have springs made for your truck in a local spring shop. Also, for some reason I typed this response in your post about the brake conversion kits - that's why the delete. Th esite seems to be slow to navigate and I typed this response before it got here.

Yes I put new king pins in too. I have since taken the truck all apart and send the frame to be sand blasted. I was trying to do it all my self but it looked to bad. It looked like I had painted over dirt.
