Your truck looks 10 times better then when you first got it. You made a lot of progress and now are getting to enjoy it. CONGRATS

Yeah you can use longer shackles up front 5.5" I think is what tv sells with their sas kits...and blocks wont hurt just try not towards dump the clutch too much..it might bend ur springs without a traction bar of some sort...n looks good man I like it

Great job on your bed. I got a similiar bumper on mine and it works well. I can understand wanting to shorten it. Looking good.

that thing looks good man, ever thought of putting your front blinkers into your marker lights? the plug for the blinker and marker lights are the same so you can just plug the blinkers into the marker lights and marker lights into the blinkers
