Change headlight to tinted ones which I don't recommend As you can't see at night. Also put 20s on w/275*60*20s then did the bed cap.

I got rid of the heavy 20s went to a set of factory 17s dipped the front bumper, grill, mirrors and door handles I also put in 3 inch drop Springs. Got Rid of the tinted Headlights and turn Signals to clear ones what the blues bulbs.

Bed off





Rear-end free





3 inch drop Shakles





Rear-end rehung





I had to use a set front stoppers to keep the Rear-end From hitting the frame until I get the step notch In I had also moved the shackles down 2 holes.





Here it is with the bed back on.

I'll get some better photos up tomorrow have just a bit More welding then trim the bed support and put the bed back on and I'm done. Still need to get some shocks but will do that on pay day.
