sittin on mtz's
 
i finally finished my extremely painful process of putting on a daystar leveling kit, rancho shocks, and 2" rear blocks. none of those things were the problem tho, it all came from rusted and seized up bolts. ended up with new bushings, new sway bar links, even an entire new lower control arm! but, the truck looks great. sitting on mickey thompson 265/75 16 mtz's and black american eagle rims. cant be all good tho, got a good amount of fender rub :( front and back of front tires. im not very experienced with body work either so i have no clue. but once i fix it and get my stainless tube steps on ill post some pics

nicholas9393 Mar 25, 2010 01:00 AM

i dont need the control arm to install. so messed up bushings is no biggie. i need it to make a jig so i can start mass producing some extended arms for our lift kit.

would you be interested in making a few bones and shipping it to me. ill cover the shipping and give ya a little extra.

looks really good. try to get some close up's where it rubs and you may be supprised on the suggestions you get.

nicholas9393 Mar 25, 2010 11:01 PM

thanks yeah ill get some more pics up sometime probably after i take off those running boards and put on the stainless tubes. and maybe a wash, or more mud lol. i went ahead and just yanked off the mudflaps that are there, so it looks kinda crappy now but ill throw some fender flares or somethin on there to cover it up. and im just gonna go down to the shop and chop a little off the front bumper and that should be all of the rubbing. and 06dak shoot me an email kool_kat_93@msn.com
