Greg, do you even know how badass that truck is? We absolutely MUST have a photoshoot with the local trucks. I'm anxious to see it in person. I could probably help you diagnose the weirdness too, I like a good mystery.

Yeah for sure! I had a harley in the back of it today and it is exactly where I want the rear to sit, but it was rubbing so I rolled the fenders in the rear and one of them is really rotted and the fiberglass/bondo cracked. So this weeks project is going to be to fix that and repaint, im also going to try to tub the other front fender because just one is done at the moment.

THANKS! I am going to throw in some 2 inch blocks and then level the front out. And maybe someday I will buy a 4 link and actually make something happen with this thing! But for now I it, I get just enough looks to be happy.

So today I replaced the headliner in the truck, went from a stained sagging grey to a nice tight clean new black. I ripped off the fabric but he foam was still stuck on it so I used a wire brush and that took it right down to fresh cardboard, spray adhesived the back of the new headliner and the cardboard let it tack up for a min and slapped it on, cut it down to size. Wow what a difference.
(pictures are on there way)

It makes it feel a lot different inside now. I like it. I started making my center console, I just don't know what to finish it in. I may revert to some factory one still but I got to still try this out and see how it turns out.

Well the truck is now 2" lower in the rear, it sits a TON better but I can not get a picture because I couldnt find a bright enough parking lot for my phone to show anything. But plenty will be posted tomorrow.
