      Nice start, is that a 6" lift with 35" tires ?  I also like the front winch bumper, looks mean enough.

Im liking it! I know what ya mean about the stuff suspension. I put rough country 6" lift on and its real stiff. Of course mine hasnt seen the road since its had it on so i cant relate to driving stiffness yet. Looks good though, nice job

johnhood,

Nice truck  I also have a SWB with only a 4" lift.....   i see you have a 6"  here....  what did you do it anything to the drive line angles etc?   I already have the longer brake lines on mine with the steering arm etc.... but i was concerned if i went up two more inches how would by drive shafts be affected... or anything else?

Looks good.... any info i would appreciate it...

Thanks
Mike

The tank switch is to the left of the glovebox.  If there was a switch there, someone added it, there was nothing ever there from GM.
