    Nice subtle flaring. I usually go pretty aggressive with flares. I like to be able to run my palm between the tire and body.

    Damn you have those starions looking good. Everytime I think about painting the face of my starions black, I see what a good polishing can do.

    Going to do some measuring tonight, but some of the fitment issues I've had might be the result of a slightly bent frame on the driver side. If so I'm parting and scraping the truck.

    thanks!

    they may flare out more when it gets smoothed out but not that much lol. I like that tight, but not too tight fit.

    thank you

    thanks!

    As in my post above, the build will continue if the frame isn't tweaked.dunno why I didn't check before

    I just need to mount the headlights. But between me being easily distracted and not having a second pair of hands (since I just randomly work on it in the middle of the night lol) it's been a slow process.

    grabbed a moving permit earlier this morning and went cruising around. already expected to be scooping up a few road/lane dots lol. i do need to figure out how to deal with the axle wrap though. running 4 inch streetaco blocks and removed the middle leaf with the overload flipped. i know the bed and rear end kiss due to the drop so a c notch is in order. also i may end up raising the truck up in the front some for now, depends on how i feel after tomorrow lol.

    thanks guys. first long trip today. did a quick cruise before heading out to the meet/bbq and then a cruise to the east side of town followed by the long haul back home. I definetly cannot wait to locate some 1ton sways and torsion bars!!! Also shorter shocks upfront would be needed as well. Had to raise it up half an inch to get better clearance of everything and to stop tearing up the roads around here that just got done 3 weeks ago (lol). I have lots of pics from the meet today that I will post up tomorrow or sometime during the week at the latest.
