Better to take your time and get it right then to finish it quick and have to redo stuff later IMHO....

It is looking good too, BTW.

Have to deflate the tires to get it out of the garage? A dude at one of my pickups (ima fedex driver) did a 10 inch lift I guess on his F150 in his garage and didnt remember that it was going to be to big to get out. He had to rip it all out.

well its almost done, just needs some fluids, the tail lights wired up, rear shocks mounted and some paint. Then its off to get smogged and registered.
Im thinking about swapping the motor and tranny for a 4.3 and 700 r4.
