    I bet it does man. I would be ready for a lot of orders for that back bumper for the 1st Gens you got one here :D and if this go's well and your price is right your LT stuff should sell like hot cakes.

    so far the lowers are boxed and were going to design the uppers boxed and tubed and see what the material cost and build time will be for each and strength test both to see how much of a difference there is. what size coil over are you running? like an 8" or what, i'm thinking of going with king's
