Truck all done!
I'm finally getting the truck back from the shop. Got suspension, brake conversion, hydro-boost, extreme crossmember, new rims and custom gauges all done. Here are some pics of the drop. Should have some pics of the gauges tomorrow.

Re: Truck all done!
The suspension is 4.5 and 5 inch drop. It's got 2 1/2 drop spindles plus 2 inch springs up front and 5 inch out back. The rims are Billet Specialties Fastlane. 17 X 8 and 17 x 9.5 with 245/45/17 and 275/40/17 Kuhmo tires. I send pics of the gauges tomorrow. The gauge cluster is a custom billet one from Brothers. The gauges are Autometer ultra lites. I can't wait to drive it. I haven't driven it for a while. We have very long winters here. It even snowed today.

Re: Truck all done!
Thanks for all the compliments. When I came back from Iraq the last time I bought all the parts to get it to this point. I leave again in a month. This time I'm going to pay off the truck. I'm going to enjoy the truck this month then put it back on jack stands for another year.

Re: Truck all done!
Is that a TEAL? Good luck on your future deployment and a safe return to a beautiful truck.
