That frame looks great You are really making quick progress.

Is that a glass of liquid refreshment behind your Ipod? Just so you know, Ipod's do not swim well. Don't ask how I know, just trust me on this one....

Looks awesome Tyler!

What kind of paint did you use on the frame. Also, did you use a spray gun, spray bomb, or brush?

Again, looks awesome!

Man, you finished that in double time!

I worked on mine for a week, and didn't finish a single rail!

haha yea I worked fast fast fast!! ok to all yalls question. It was Rust Res. Gloss Black Spray Paint! Worked like a dream! But if you use it...be sure to get all your dirt and surface off before applying paint! Comes out alot better.

As for my drop, I am running a 3/5 drop. 3 Inch Lowering Springs in the front, and a 5 inch flip kit in the rear. All from sporttruckdirect.com, also running lowering shocks from...belltech I believe? I cant remember the name sry..but i kno for a fact sporttruckdirect has them. THe kit works perfect and the install was a breeze!! But..beware....some of our year truck came with a th350 tranny...I have a th400. And when it lowered my driveshaft did not fit...so make sure u kno wat tranny you have. I beleive I got about 1 inch cut off and then it fit great.

Thx for hte comments yall.
