I do want to replace the step bumper, just haven't found the bumper I want. I may put a roll pan on it, not sure.

Well, I am trying to figure that out. It has longer shackles in the rear with hangers in the front. It also appears to have one of the leafs removed. As for the front, it has lower control arms with recessed spring pockets. I think someone also heated the coil springs to make them sag. The truck is really to low for what I want so I am going to try to bring it up a tad. The front is scary because of the 'spring' treatment. The back is fine but I think I need to put a leaf back in and maybe move the springs down on the the hangers and shackles to raise it a little.

Midnight Blue 21? Not sure, but I was showing it to a painter yesterday and he said it is close to the stock color but it has more flake in it.

The rims are painted stockers. My guess is that they have been banded. They are 10 inches wide.
