    Yeah I watched a few in depth diy's and heard the same thing again and again with the rollers - to buy more of them and only use them for so long. I'd probably try to find a better method of transferring the paint through experimenting if I was going to roll it with different types of rollers (I used to paint houses so I know a few things I'd probably try). Since the body panels and doors are easy to remove on these I might just spray them piece by piece and get the parts that don't come off easily separately. It's not a lot of extra masking and the panels can be put in a position that makes them easier to spray - especially the hood. Get one of these setups if you're going to spray. It cuts masking time in half on places where you can use it. The paper is cheaper at home depot ($3 a roll or so).

    That has to have a body lift or something. Those tires are tiny

    Here's 285s with mine and I have way less fender space then him

    His bed is on the frame no body lift. Looks like a 4” lift in rear with king coil overs maxed out on 31”s. Mine looked similar till I got 33”s. also running stock rims so makes it look taller

    I'm fairly certain that there's no body lift, I am going to do new body mount bushings here soon though so I'll get rid of it if there is! Honestly my ride height is way off from where I want it to be. I got 650lb coils with my kings in preparation for a bumper/winch/skids and just put them without any adjustments. I'm also sky high in the rear because I wasn't aware that when installing my new OME leafs (w/aal) that I'd have to cut my stock shackles off. I was doing this on a Sunday and needed my truck drivable by Monday, so all I could find were 1.25inch lift shackles. When everything settles a bit I'll probably get some stock shackles or ome greaseable ones and then try and lower the front some. Your truck is kind of my inspiration so I'm hoping to have it sit at a similar height.

    Yep pretty much, except I traded the stock 15inch split 3's to a buddy for his 16inch ones and I'm running 265/75/16.

    I know, it's driving me crazy looking at it! What really sucks is I just finished paying those tires off too. They look great at the stock ride height in my profile pic though!

    I think so too, but the alignment shop swears by their numbers, camber and toe are both close to zero with the caster close to 2. I'll have to find the printout with exact numbers.

    Frame isn't hurt, but the unibody is bent up pretty badly as well as the rad support. What should I do?
