bumpers are going to be sent out to sand blast in a couple weeks and painted black. the quarter panels will be finished in a few days. as for the rims im still not sure what i want to do. my original plan was to get some newer style 20s that are not chrome and paint the lip blue like the truck and the rest black. the superchips is in the mail.



the real question is do i go up with the front or down with the rear?????

I say raise the front. I have never been much into lowered 4x4's (your truck is a 4x4, correct?).

Looking good! Did you have cancer taking over back there?

So what's this mod idea?? To lift or lower? Sorry man, I had a hard time following your post. I was first thinking shaved door handles because you said bondo and paint right after your mod idea. I just got lost..sorry.
Superchips is good stuff.
Truck does look good. Nice job on the body work.
Suspension is all in your own personal preference. you'll get both sides on here asking such a question so post up what your preferences are and then we can better help out otherwise guys will just give their taste and you'll be driving someone elses ride around...

^^^^ same question about the mod, I got lost lol. Also I would say lower the back if its a 4x2 but raise the sob if its a 4x4. But as dirtydog said, you are getting everyones preferences not your own. Pick the look you're going for and go with it. I have never really seen a blacked out low rider so it sounds more like you are into the off-road aggressive type look so if I were you I'd raise it. Just profiling but usually (I said usually) more chrome = dropped down/ flashy, more blacked out = off-road/ don't care if its dirty. Just my 2cents

well the mod was to start blacking out the truck but leave the two tone in the first few pics u can see the silver on the bottom i just finished getting it painted black i was going to black out the bumpers, grille, lights, rims, and get it tinted. if u click the link u can see a pic that was photo shopped of what it might look light.


and yes there was cancer on both sides and a big dent because my mom had to prove she knew how to drive a trailer by messing up my quarter panel

as for the suspension my baby is a pavement queen and im leaning on dropping the back end so it will sit more level.

I always say raise the front but I may be a little biased to lifted rigs being I have one.

I would leave it alone for now. Pavement queen's are rarely pushed too thier limits. That said I would lower the rear. Seeing as your not hauling much. But if your gonna work it, go with the lift. I kept my options open , by using bilstiens 5100's Got a lift and a nice ride in one mod. Moe's performance hooked me up, btw.
