    Well I am still in the process of chopping it, I started out thinking of doing a 4" inch chop, but after taping it off I decided on a 5". I love the stance now. I had some problems with the passanger side rear lining back up. I couldn't have done it without the help of Conner, DOC, John, amd Tyler. Tyler got the fun task of welding a trillion little welds, John helped line the passanger side back up and made the releif cuts. DOC can grind, and Conner was in charge.

    Go check out the rest of the pictures here.

    Good job finding those. I was at a loss for suggestions of what to run, those are perfect. Black wall too! I've been looking for some cheap trailer tire style copies of some pie crust black walls for some other projects too.
