Yeah we do. Last weekend was perfect with all that cloud cover. That is the best time to shoot IMO. Do you know of any good spots with good backdrops? Those ones above are just in front of Lake Arlington boat launch. Not really a primo spot. Maybe on top of a parking garage in downtown Dallas or something with the sky scrappers in the background. Might be too busy though. I like the truck to stand out more than the backdrop.

Beautiful SuperCrew Milt! Glad you got it riding back right with the OEM shackles. You don't see too many NNBS Fords out here in Texas lowered! Hell, I've only seen one myself! She's a beauty dude & I know the Chevy & Dodge boys break their necks looking at it! Keep it up..

Gosh I need to get myself some Harley OEM 22s!

Thanks man. I used to own GMs so I'm still on some of the GM forums and even the Ford HATERS show some love for it.

Thanks man. I have helper bags mounted over the axle so I can still tow/haul. They run off a 150psi compressor and 2gal tank. They are controlled with an in cab switch that operates both fill and dump of both bags at the same time and I have an air gauge on board to monitor them.

Sweet same setup I was thinking of doing. I'm new to dallas can you refer me to someone that can do this kind of work? But I'm always down to get dirty and do it myself just never missed with trucks before.

Grand Prairie Audio in Grand Prairie can get any parts you need and do the install. That's who did mine. They are way more than just an audio shop. They are pretty much a one stop custom shop. Chris, the owner of Drop Zone, partnered up with Craig, the owner of GPA, about 5yrs ago but they never changed the name because the business was already established in the community. Talk to Chris and tell him I sent you. www.grandprairieaudio.com

Thanks. I got their 3/5 kit. It comes with adjustable struts up front that can be set from -3" to +1" from factory height and utilizes factory springs. The rear consist of a flip kit that relocates the axle under the leafs and a lift shackle. Mine is so low because I am not running any of the spacer up front and I swapped out the lift shackle for my factory shackle in the rear. I'm not sure if belltech is even selling this kit right now because some people were having issues with it. There is a thread here about it somewhere.
