I know, I was giving myself a hard time. I just can't wait to finish it hopefully this weekend, so I don't have to mess with it anymore.

I also got my LC coils in today, so I'm hoping to get those installed maybe tonight!!!

Currently, it's cornfed 1/5" spacer with a revtek top out spacer, so it should be around 2" of lift. I'm using OME shocks and stock springs. But, I should have my new Tundra coils this next week, and my cornfed front and rear spacers are already sold.

Just for kicks, I measured the height of the lowest point on my rear bumper (hitch tube), and it measured 28 3/8" off the ground. I like it!

Very nice. The Tundra coils should complement the rear nicely.

I wouldn't mind it being an axtra 1/2" higher in the front, but if not it's fine the way it is now. I'm just hoping these Tundra coils are as soft as everyone says they are. It would be ideal for the front and rear to have similar spring rates.

Well, I decided to add the thin sheet metal between the bumper and the back of the body today. It came out real well, and now it hides the gap that used to be there. I'll get pics another day once I get done painting it. I might begin to finish some of my fender trimming tomorrow, possibly. The bumper, though, if officially done, which is a nice feeling.
