Ya that will look good once he gets the rear raised. How much did it end up raising the truck?

It does not look bad, I am not sure I would have picked a low pinion axle for the swap, the angle of that drive shaft will suffer.

Thats awesome!

After everyone always talking about how they are going to do "this" and "that" (especially when it comes to doing a lift).... its great to see someone actually attempt to put their money where their mouth is. I give this guy mad props!
