well i bought a new bed for my truck and a set of fenders and decided to repaint the old girl. tore it all down two weeks ago just left the cab on the frame everything else cam off. worked 8 days straight on it between 8-12 hrs a day but got it all done finally.  now im on the process of getting stuff around to build my 8 inch long arm lift kit. just put 4k govenor springs in it and awaiting my new injectors to come in  ;D so when it comes out of the barn it will run alot better and will be a little bigger. going to be putting 38inch mickey thompson fcII tires on it on 16x12 dick cepek dc2 aluminum rims. here is a pic of it all painted with some rollers on it. picture makes it look like itspewter but its actaully black and silver on the bottom. will post more pics when i get some

got the tubing and got the long arms built today just waiting for my johnny joints to get here and i built my brackets that will bolt on to my frame under my door. now just have to wait for the joints to come in so i can put it all on now. gonna build a new crossmember tomorrow for the trans and t case and a clocking ring so i can drop my t case down a little. should be done by next weekend. have stacks that were on my other cummins but i am building a dual exhaust set up for it running them out at an angle behind the tires

Sweet Cummins project! Damn nice fab-work on them long arm brackets too.  I would like to see this truck in person.  I have a 6" about to go in mine, and I'd like to make it a long arm later on maybe.
