Well as is typical with my projects, the suspension needed a lot more help than I thought. Bio Kustoms re-did the link bars, plated the frame, added shocks and then they got to the front end. Apparently the guy who bagged it before didn't know about "flipping" the ball joints, or notching the control arms. mine were bent and had to be replaced. Max notched them, flipped the BJ, and pie cut the upper. Put all new bag mounts at the proper angles and added front shocks. I should get it back later this week. It should lay an inch or two lower in the front and ride like a caddy. I will post some progress pics this weekend.

Oh yeah, and it will be about an inch lower in the rear as well, 'cause now it doesn't lay on the heims joints!

IDK...it was like that when I bought it. I thought I'd save some money by buying a "turn-key" truck. I am kind of anal when it comes to my rides so, ...it probably could have stayed as is. I know I will be a lot happier knowing it was done right.

Me too. I have a horrible disease that causes me to spend all my money. The wifey and I are going through escrow on a house right now. ( In socal that means looong green) Then I will be back in my driveway where I belong. I won't have any cash to have others work on my obsessions.
