working on cleaning up the frame in the rear and painting everything..got the front frame cleaned and painted..its not perfect, but its fine for this truck..i would be in the garage for weeks trying to get it completely clean and smooth..

got some work to do in the next few days putting everything back on..hopefully tomorrow i get the rear frame painted, front end parts all on and get started on putting the rear back together..

Making sure I have everything in order..the rest of the lowering kit should be here tomorrow..been battling with FedEX on getting it delived..they put signature required on the packages and i work 8-5 so i cant be home to sign or drive 30 miles to pick it up..pain in the ass

they are powerstop drilled and slotted rotors, powerstop calipers as well..i dont know if they are much different than OEM caliper wise, but they are powdercoated red and they were the same price as getting stock calipers from the local store..

was hoping to get the front end done tonight, but my front upper arms have not shown up yet
