Finally Leveled it out

Finally cranked the torsion bars up and leveled it out. Looks really good I think. The strange thing is, is when i took my truck into my auto class to get an alignment... everything was perfect expect for the caster, and that was off by less than .5...
any way.. here's the pics.
BEFORE



AFTER

Sorry for the shadows.

haha thanks. I'm kinda leery about getting bigger tires because I have the 4.2 and I dont know how well it could churn bigger tires. 33" is the biggest i'd go, and i really dont want to take a big hit performance wise and mpg wise.
And the grille surround is black because The whole front end used to be all messed up and melted from a fire so i re did the whole front end and havent gotten around to painting the new surround. And apparently the sticker is just a special dealer decal. Nothing different about the truck, i just think it makes it more unique.

oh and p.s Long bed Reg cabs are by faaaaaar the best looking combo on this, or any, body style for that matter!

Yeah man gotta love the longbeds! Well thats understandable, what size do you have on there now? If you do go biggerand don't wanna lose much power i can't imagine you'd lose much going to a 285/75r16 (33x11.50). Im kinda in the same boat, the 97 4.6 is pretty pathetic, reliable, but extra weak and mine are 35's its better han stock now tho
