    got right to work on it today, the exhaust was rusted out, so i did a ghetto temp. side exit exhaust. removed the rear bumper-bug shield-toolbox-and mudflaps, i also lowered the front end 2 inches. next up is 3" blocks next week when i return from my vaca to fl, then i will be doing tint and a big stereo. im looking forward to learning as much as i can from you dudes.

    Why would you throw stuff away. Ok just a little tip from us minitruckers. Your trash may be one of our treasures. There is stuff you may not want that someone on here may need. Ok on that note...... truck is looking good. Now lower the front down and your set.

    You would not have to cut the bed. You could always run air shocks. Try low profile bumpstops and stiff shocks (airshocks). If you want a notch just cut a little bit out of the frame and plate it with 3/16inch steel like this /-\ just enough for the axle to fit in upon full compression. But your front leaf spring hangers will hit right around that point anyway. Don't forget about pinion angle.
