woah. Wait a minute. Define this "finish" talk.
I didn't know a truck could ever be "finished"

Re: Let's see how many finished bumps out there?
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
2-You have ran out of money
3-The wife says enough is enough

Re: Let's see how many finished bumps out there?
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.

ezer, yours looks frozen in time..
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.
