    So I finally got started on my truck today...got the front tore down a few weeks ago & was able to get all my guys together. I really didnt have a chance to get pics of everything, but Ill have more tomorrow & as we get more done. Were only baggin the front for now until I get a bigger notch & that 3-link kit from Seth! Its going to have Cando upper/lower control arms & bag mounts on the front, FBI tranny crossmember, 1/2 lines with 1/2 SMC valves, a AirZeneth compressor & a skinny/slim 5-gallon tank. I also removed the rear perportion valve & bypassed it. Ill do a write up on what I did soon.

    Got the front pretty much done...got to run the airlines & once I get the tranny crossmember in Ill be able to sit it back on the ground. We cycled the suspension & everything looks good, so Im hoping it goes that way when its done lol.

    looks clean so far. but i wouldnt have painted the faces of the rotors unless you are going to have them cleanup cut at a machine shop after its done. i wouldnt let the brake pads do that.
