PostPosted: Wed Jul 09, 2003 10:08 pm 
Heres some more pictures of my truck. I'am getting close to having the body work done. Then it going to the body shop to make sure its dent free. I'am ordering the seal kit for the top next month. Then it will be interior time. Let me know what you think, or if you have any ideas.. Thanks for looking. http://photos.yahoo.com/darinlab

Its not as bumpy as I thought it would be. There are no front shocks, the back shocks are stock, compressed all the way down. I took three of the leaf springs out and fliped them upside down, leaving two leafs. No bump stops either. Next summer I'am installing air bags. It scrapes big time, but I'am cutting out the frame support ( The one the hangs way down ) and welding in a flat support. That should take care of scraping on the road.

looks good man mine is about that low too! 8) although I do have shocks up front and my rear has air shocks right now that dont hold air! :lol: and I also only have one leaf spring on the rear right now. I want to go to airbags hopefully soon but for right now it is ok the way it is. Oh and yes speedbumps and driveways are an ugly site when I see them 8O :lol: But I do have to say it is funny when I am going over one or leaving the bank on post cause people stop and STARE 8O when they hear this god awful scraping noise :twisted: I just look at them and smile cause they know it's low!!! I only have about 3" of ground clearance from the frame and the rockers are roughly 6" off the ground I really see no need to go any lower!! I just want it to be faster now :lol: :twisted:
Just my two pennies.
