    no, it's been sitting while i'm busy on the weekends. i did find some time last weekned to install the upper control arms. the entire suspension at this point is new except for the front springs that i re-used. I also went ahead and threw on the front runners. finally something shiney on this pickup!

    i do have this one. laid a fender on with 2 bolts, then laid the hood on top just to see how the drop would look up front. the pic is with the OEM uppers and it dropped some more with the new uppers. the oem bushings were overtorqued and in a bind. it settled good with the uppers. just wish i had the front wheels on the truck for this picture.

    maybe one day i will have both the fenders and the bed on. starting to look like a truck again! cant mount the tire because the it's stuffed into the frame. should sit perfect with the wider 8.8. spacers will work until then. the rear end should drop some more after the 16 gallon fuel cell, battery relocation and rear bumper. also the spring sliders will drop it another 1/2" or so. i want to throw the front fenders on but i have a ton of cleaning to do on the garage now that i have it back.
