Finally got my Cal Tracs installed

Well, I finally got my hand built Cal Tracs installed. It was easy to build them, but installing them wasn't as pretty. I cut my face open pretty good with a crow bar trying to pry open the spring mounts. The damn thing slipped and cut my face open. I should of gotten a few stiches, but I'll just gobbing on the neo sporen. But I finally got them installed. I know some of you wanted to see them, so here you go.
I took it for a ride, and feels much stiffer than the stock set up, and it doesn't burn the tires as much off the line. it grabs alot better too. So I guess they are doing there job.

Awesome work. How the hell do you keep the underside so clean? BTW cutting off some of the bumpstop will help with traction.

Yeah, it's pretty clean underneith the truck. If it wasn't for me taking it out a couple of times in the rain, then it would be alot cleaner, except for the burnt rubber.
