Nice looking setup. Kyle does do kickass work. Did he help with the rear frame section and suspension also?

header choice is a little difficult when it comes to a bodydropped truck. i had jba shortys ( they came on the truck). however i think we all know shortys are good for the look factor and thats about it. but ive have yet to see lts on a bodied truck.
