Man Lee, that looks really good with minimal cost and lots of elbow grease. You have done good with the truck. Good to see a beat down truck brought back to life. Can't wait to see what else you do to it. I would love to get ahold of a Lightning.

Thanks man!

I put a mild drop on it yesterday. I'll get pics after it gets aligned tomorrow.

Well I was messing around in the garage and thought I'd take a couple of quick pictures of the truck's new stance. It's nothing drastic, but I love it.

Before.



After.




I'll be working on the bumper gap soon.

Stance looks much better! Did you just level it? Looks like drop shackles were put on. I really like the way it sits now. I'd sure take a lighting if I could afford a 2nd truck.

Thanks! I put springs in the front and shackles in the rear.
