the bumper is currently being redone. truck i got it off of was hit on the driver side so i am getting the slight bend pulled out, the bumper has been sitting just about on the ground in the junk yard for atleast 3 to 5 years now so the factory baked on coating is coming off and there is some surface rust starting to grow. i should get it done in a few weeks or so, and i also dont want to put it on till i can get the body lift off. which i am still trying to figure out all i need to do to take everything off that the body lift extended and what was removed in the process.

That same day I went to my moms work (Chevrolet dealership) to get it aligned and they told me my truck was unsafe to drive and then proceeded to tell me that it could cost 2k to fix. Then he said that at the least I would pay 1k. That was of the question. The next day I spent 300 bucks and did everything but the lower ball joints. 60 bucks got I aligned and the guy at the alignment shop told me that my frame was bent or my upper a arms are bent. But it is aligned, the guy had to max out all the alignment stuff.

And now my most current change. The PO put a trailer hitch off of a tahoe or suburban I think. Well since I am removing the body lift soon I needed a different hitch. So I removed the hitch that was on the truck and switched with an adjustable hitch that my dad had on his 83 gmc jimmy (k5). This is how that came out so far
What I removed

I still have to get the bumper back on.
While I was doing this I put an adapter for trailer lights on. Its an older piece that my dad had for his 1990 rclb c1500 that he never installed. Also what he kept the hitch for and never installed.

ive always liked charcoal grey, and a matte charcoal grey just sounds like if would look good. im going to see if i cant get somebody to photoshop it that color and the grill in matte black, with some hd mirrors, and the body lift gone.
