woah. Wait a minute. Define this "finish" talk.

I didn't know a truck could ever be "finished" :?

I think there are about three ways a truck can be finished:

1- You've done everything you possibly can/want to/dreamed of doing :D

2-You have ran out of money :cry:

3-The wife says enough is enough :eek:

I have been playing with it since 1994. It's basically done, meaning it will always look like this. However, I would like to pull the helper springs off the rear end. It sits up too high in the butt for me.

Robert thanks, I put 225/70/15 in front, and 295/50/15 in the back.
I'm thinking of maybe going a couple of sizes smaller in the front, just to drop it a couple of inches more. :wink:
