    I should take better pictures of the resulting look, but the welds are impeccable, and I'm betting dealerships wouldn't even notice the modification.

    Thank you Super Stash for the great words! I try my best to be good and turn around a great finish for lil projects and local members that need assistance with lifts, cmc etc. Start small then grow into something is what I'm thinking.

    if @TOP TACO @Bigpat_ca @Elsydian can throw up some pics of work done that would awesome guys! Appreciate any local support!

    I may have tweaked a few things...
    I don’t think I have any pictures that you don’t already have. But next time something is going on i’ll bring some camera equipment so we can take better shots for your portfolio.

    I really can’t say enough good stuff about Charlie, he’s a solid guy no doubt. Always willing to help and has all the tools and know-how to make it happen!

    Charlie reached out to me the other week and helped me install my lift. He definitely finds joy and excitement in doing so. Clean and quick work he had everything needed to get the job done correctly 10/10 would recommend!
