hey while your add it id do the brakes and rotors. Here is my trucks. You need to do this behind big wheels


Ive been using rustoleum semi gloss black for years. Take off the tires and just get a brush and brush off what you can and then use brake cleaner to clean the rest up. Let it dry up and then use the rustoleum to go over the calipers and rotors. I usually focus on the top edges and lower edges where the brakes dont touch. Don't worry if you get a little paint on the rotor surface. When you drive it will clean right up and will not mess up the brakes.

ok cool, thanks. ive been wanting to to the brakes, my drums (as seen in the pics) have that nice surface rust tint to them. Will be my next project for sure. Ive been cleaning up the frame while i had it up for the wheels so i could get all the dirt and grime off so I can respray it in the next few days. Love the way
those wheels look.

dude, that rebuild came out really nice! Im not a fan of green at all, but I really like that truck. Great job on it.

Question - It never bothered me before but after I brought the hoe down off the stands, it does sit lower in the back. It has been like that since I dropped it, but maybe because of the black wheels, Im not feeling it anymore. I measure the rear at 27.5" and front at 29". How can I bring that front down some more?

In front are you using 2 inch spindles and 2 inch springs?
