This is where it started looking a little better. first i removed the sun faded side molding. after that i removed the rear spring shackles, cut them and welded in a 3 inch section in turn lowering the rear of the truck to a more level position.

Next, I tinted the windows. the rear i believe is 15% and the sides are 25%. I also hit a deer around this time. it basically shattered the grill guts so all thats really left is the grill shell. itll do for now until i can get put something a little better looking in there.
