get some springs one going from soft line to other to chassis or whatever, the spring needs to be strong enough to pull it way while still letting it extend out when needed.

[sixstringsteve]

looks good. Any chance you can have it done by Saturday for the NLPD cleanup out at 5-mile? I'm trying to get my sliders done today so I'll be ready for it.

 

[Marsh99]

I still dont have shocks that would be the deal breaker I am hopefully going to get the front driveline on the truck flex it out and order my shocks today

 

[Marsh99]

or I gues I could bolt in the seats and trailer it there.... hmm I that is tempting

 

[sixstringsteve]

There you go. Or at least bring the tacoma. But I think you should bring your '80.

Shocks ordered today

 

[Marsh99]

Shocks came in

Cleaned the floor prep and rolled in herculiner
Now the question to bob or not to bob

 

[sixstringsteve]

That thing looks great. I wish mine sat that low. I say don't bob it, then people will be able to tell our trucks apart

But in all honesty, my truck looked a lot better before I bobbed it.

 

[1995zj]

Looks great! That's quite the overhang....I'm all for bobbing, so long as it comes out clean
