    I would have left it low in the front,if it wouldn't have been such a issue. It did look good before,but I wanted a different look. I already have a car that drags the ground...didn't want another one!

    Just got back from a test drive. HUGE improvement! Steers better,rides better,don't have to lean down to see the signals. I'm happy with the results!

    Bob, it looks great the way it sits now. You made a smart move by trading for that truck............Mike

    Looks better on the after shot! I'm one that believes not everything needs to be dropped. The 7.50s will look great too! :D

    My 38 has the exact same dash only washington blue:D. I want to say the 39 had the windshield crank on top center dash, not vertical. If that makes sense.

    Looks great bob!!! I love that truck and now it looks even better. Ever thought about putting a slightly taller tire out back to fill up that wheel well? Maybe a 7.00?

    Keep it up I am stoked for ya bud,

    Bob,
    The truck's a winner,either way.Those bed-boards are cool,guard 'em with your life!

    You might be inspiring a bunch of people to change the stance on their trucks? I need new coils in the front of mine-road graders aren't fun.
    Hmm,where to find coil springs?
