Update on the lift kit, I ordered a lower control arm bushing for the passenger side, since the bolt on the original was frozen in. While they are out, I am thinking of replacing all of them since they came as a whole set.
I am however, having problems with the lower control arms so i will be creating a thread in the suspension section.

Last but not least, I have more plans for this thing:

-Remove and replace bed,
-Paint tailgate to match
-While bed is off, sand, and paint rear part of frame, and axles.
-Rust repair along the cab
-get a new grille, and paint to match

What kind of problems you having with the lower arms?

Trying to get them to sit at the correct height. Either they are way too low and dont have any up travel or are too high and dont have any down travel, if that makes sense.

Gave it a bath and cleaned out the interior.

Tried cleaning and polishing up the wheels the best i could with wd-40 and fine steel wool, followed by chrome polish. They came out ok but still not 100%.

Also noticed that someone did this. I wonder what they were thinking..

That's the same interior layout and color I have!

The lift is basically done, minus a brake line which I broke. It will need an alignment too. For some reason, it doesnt look as tall, but maybe because it's still sitting on 265s. I also need to put in the add a leaf.

I removed the bed, did some prep and started coating with KBS coatings rust seal. I'm going to do the entire frame and where ever else I can get to. I ran out of the can I had laying around, so I had to order more.

Lastly, I removed the grille and bumper. They are going to be replaced with a new grille being outfitted with an EAG black mesh insert. I will be getting a new bumper too. I already ordered a new rear bumper.
