Thanks...I just upgraded the engine to a 98 Vortec 454...mmm roller cam and better heads. Next up airbags for the front (maybe)

Your "Tow Pig" is awesome, but I'm kinda partial to black crew cab duallies.

That's pretty cool seeing a dropped 3+3 man! Sharp truck.

Does yours bottom out a lot?  My dually has a flipkit in the back and a c-notch with drop shocks and it bottoms out all the time over anything.  It has some little skinny airbags, but they dry-rotted and only hold air for a few hours.  Even when the bags are full we seem to bottom out on some dips in the road.  I was just wondering if that's just something us lowered guys have to live with.

That truck would look even sweeter with some big rig wheels!

Do you have a c-notch like him under the bed? You'd be suprised how that extra space will help. Atleast cut off you're bump stops and the brackets.

I haven't looked at mine in a while, but I think my c-notch is smaller than his.  I'm thinking about putting leafspring clamps on mine until I can afford new airbags.
