yeh bedsides are around $400 a piece. Im not even thinkin about getting them fixed.

I got an alighnment done today. It took the guy 2 hours!! It took him a while but its right and I got the torsion bars turned as low as I can safely. The fenders sit about 4 inches above the tires and this is with stock 255s. I think it will look great with bigger rims and tires. Its goin to the body shop this week. I also got some headlight/parking light, taillight, and foglight tint ordered, and a urethane rollpan.

Its gonna be a whole different truck when I get it back.

Nice! Truck looks MUCH better without all that chrome, side moldings, and tool box. Are you keeping the stock wheels?
