     Looking good.  Hopefully you got it just the way you want it.

Very nice! I noticed new front A arms, and it looks a little lower than the "brought it home pics". Did you do a drop spring or spindle? It looks like a stock style coil in the a arms versus adjustable coil overs like the rear. I couldn't tell what spindle was there. With another inch or two out of the front end height I am in love with that truck sir. Any pics of the finished stock wheel tub job? Well done!

In the front they are 3" djm control arms.  Uppers and lowers. I also added. 2" belltech lowering springs. They are the stock spindles. Actually the truck handles good. Way better than stock. Just have qa1 drag shocks in the stock location. It transfers well. Also got weight down to 3528# with me in it. Almost 400# off truck.

Well been a little since I posted. Small update on my truck. Had a lot of run with the 377. But was a little to wild for the street. Threw a lot of options around and going with a twin turbo 6.0 ls. Should be fun
