I got a question for you. I couldnt tell by the pics cause the black on black was tough to see. But your gauge cluster, did you make the black back piece or was it stock? And if it was stock what did you have to do to get the gauges to pop out like that. I am looking into either custom making the gauge area adn putting gauges in that way or I was going to just use the stock back piece and mount the gauges on it that way but wasn't sure how they would come out.

if it doesn't rain tomorrow I'll start with adding one leaf and see where it goes, I can't go any lower with coils the the 27" tires rub the inner fenders badly and the lower control arms are about two inches off the ground or less

the black bezel cover is sheet metal that I made, and along time ago I just had the smaller gauges mounted to factory bezel

You definately have the right stance. It looks great with the rake, but I have always prefered a raked look on a truck instead of level. I guess thats why I went with a rake on my tan truck. You have done an awesome job on that truck.Well done.
