Nice looking, truck, always wanted to see one of those 3rd brake lights installed!

I did the DJM's in the front, built me own filp kit in the rear using 4" ProComp lift springs. It gave me about 6.5 in the rear and was a lot easier than grinding and drilling all those damn rivets.

Here it is before I dropped it.

Only problem I've had is the offset of the wheels. 5.25" backspacing isn't enough to completely tuck under and it catches the fender lip just a hair. I have yet to roll the lip, but that will fix it.

Beautiful lookin' rig. And great idea on using lift springs with your flip kit.

Lowered SD's on 24's look badazz. Thats what I would have done if I got a 2WD but I would only drop the back 2".
