Default lowering kit 212 218 cam installed and painted wheels

Well since moving into my house been busy with it but found time in past month to get some work done on the truck. Myself and another member did cam swao same time in my shop. Over last weekend and this weekend painted wheels and did a 2/4 lowering on the truck sits good for being a 4x4. I think next will be spindles and a flip kit with c-notch

Looks great and sounds mean! I love red & black combo trucks, kinda wish I could have found a used red one when I was looking. I never got to install my 212/218 in my red one. And I agree, looks great at 2/4. Do you have or going to get or need helper bags?

Yeah, even with only having no rear block, my truck gets real saggy with a full load of firewood. Helper bags don't seem to expensive to add on and would really help when needed.

Should have gone down the bumper since you went onto the grille... Or stopped with the hood and left the grille alone... Looks like the painter got side tracked half way thru and didn't finish lol. Great idea though!!!!

I personally wouldn't have done the SS in the stripe either.
