    Painted my Bilstein HD's red because the paint was flaking off and the shocks were rusting (red because I think it looks cool) :cool:
    Also removed the coil spacer (preload) and retained the top spacer to keep the truck level till I can afford coilovers.

    Because I removed the coil spacers, now my taco lean is pretty bad :( :eek: But its only noticable in the back :confused:

    [​IMG]

    Finally got some daytime pics of the clear corners (need to paint the trim black)

    [​IMG]

    And got in my receiver shackle that was backordered from wheelers:

    I have always thought about color matching my grille when I get an offroad bumper and ditch the stock chrome one...but because of the odd color I think it would be tough.
