97Bow.....I'm glad to see that mirror like air defector gone.
You had me a little worried about that mod until I scrolled down through the pics.

Im looking forward to see how this turns out. I was wanting to do a 3/4 drop on mine.

Im so ready to do mine but I still need to decide how low I want to go and Im waiting for it to warm back up.

I was thinking bout paintitng some stuff on the inside so I will see how yours turns out first. I too have the same color.

I tried to remove my fender trim but sum screws didnt want to budge so I will wait till it warms up. DAMN COLD WEATHER!!!!

You think I should stick with a 3/4 drop or a 4/6 drop? I do trailer my car to the track and I didnt know if it would affect anything.

Plan for helper bags or air shocks on the rear if you go 4/6. I'm at 4/6 with Nitro Slammer 4000's and if I load my bike in the back she bottoms out so I can only imagine what towing a trailer would be like.

Im hoping to do bags eventually. I have all the bags and tanks but I need the rest of the parts.:D

They are spare parts and left over parts from other projects at our shop. I got control arms to but we arent sure if they fit my truck.

same, i decided to go 3/4 because my truck is an every day driver, i tow, and haul loaded haywagons in the summer, the roads i liveo n and my friends all live on are gravel and dirt roads... i carry alot of heavy stuff when im working... so im going 3/4 with a set of helper bags in the rear aswell... 4/6 was just a little much for me to take into consideration and i dont want to do an axle flip and C-Notch... i would assume a 3/4 may be better for towing? :)

That looks real good. That is real close to the color I will be painting my truck. Mine is the GM Emerald green metallic.
