thanks. and yah i love my bags. lol. another truck would be cool.

I also noticed like every set of tires would slowly be lower in some pictures that must span some time, I assume getting an alignment just got pointless because of the all the changes and that you'd fix it when the suspension was completed.
thanks. and a body man? that would be a big NOPE! i am far from a body man, i am just building this for fun. and i also haven't really done much of any body work on the burb, and the little bit i did do is far from perfect. lol. and yah, its gradually gotten lower, and to where it is now. it wont be going any lower either. it's also never had an alignment by a shop either since i've owned it. i have also owned, and been working on it since 2006. the front end is done suspension wise, but the back will be getting redone eventually

I was more so joking about alot of pictures with the tires being scrubbed off and cords showing from being low. Hence the alignment question.

thinking of adding something like one of these two for my burb eventually, (leaning more towards the overhead, which i would build a couple of myself). what do you guys think?
