couple of my friends have said that same thing. it took quite a bit of convincing to get the shop to do the rockers so i doubt they would even have considered it.

It looks mean. Just to think that a few short weeks ago I was trying to convince you to do it. Now that you did I have to say that it was a good idea. Once you get those new heads on there its going to be sick.

And the only way to lift your truck more when after you have lift spindles is to get in contact with doestch or fabtech and order drop down crossmembers. Either that or you will have to get new shocks, coils, and UCA's.

Most companies are not willing to take a risk with things. Say for example, that they line-x his rockers and for whatever reason it all starts falling off in a month. They would have to take his truck in and fix it for free. Most people dont like the hassle, and the money/time lost when taking in a "come-back". I use to hate getting come-backs when I worked at a body shop

it was actually just because it was a pain in the @$$. They had to tape off everything on the truck other than the rockers. i mean under the car inside the doors everything. but your right if it does start to chip off i will be going back

Yeah man, those would look good but your truck would be just as tall as mine. And I only spent 175$ as opposed to the $400 something you will spend for just spindles.

Haha no man! I dont want to sell it. It took me a month to save up enough just to get it haha.
