Where did the rear suspension setup and coilovers come from?

Some updates:

Exhaust is on, rear suspension is together. Got the drop out battery box and kill switch mocked up. Going to get the initial harness built.

Got the drop out box in and mocked up the Battery harness. I started building the wiring harness tonight too. I also spilled my beer on the frame and now have a clean spot.  ;D

Got the cab and the bed back on yesterday and spent the rest of the day/night cleaning my garage. What a mess! I can walk through there now without bumping into some part of my truck! A spot on the firewall got nicked ;( so I have to do a spot repair which royally sucks because it looked perfect. Oh well -I also decided what I am going to do with the final paint scheme so I'm pretty excited about that.

Looks great! Keep up the good work!

Are you going to give any details or hints about the final paint scheme, or leave us hangin??
