    Wow man... nice work.

    Looks awesome.

    May I suggest to the proud owner of that to paint the grille surround black and that thing would look sick!

    Oh yeah... knew you took the BL off. Was just thrown off by the "body and frame done" - thought you did something more.

    Looks great - love your truck as you know

    Nice. Mine is getting rusty and I don't want to do a chrome tip - this is a good idea.

    I got my U-bolt flip kit and BPV installed. I was also able to "rebuild" my leafs. All I did was put a fresh AAL in the pack and I took a leaf out of a 3in lift pack and cut it to length and so now I have a extra middle leaf and took the over load spring and torched the ends off. Now it's just a lift block that wont hang up on things. I'm going to have to run a shackle, not just to see how big :rolleyes:
