it drives pretty good. the diff angles are a little exetreme so i got to make traction bars and take the shims off the rear leafs, i didnt tow with it yet the only thing i tow is my tractor and i dont do anything with that till summer. yes the guy i bought it off of had it repainted but i im going to two tone it with drift wood siver just under the molding.

That is a sweet truck and I'm surprised I have not seen you driving around locally as I'm not too far from York. Have you driven around or know Hanover well? I'm usually up in Hanover quite a bit and know or remember most 1st GENs i see. How much did the 6" Skyjacker kit run? Congrats on a nice, clean and awesome stance truck though!

Figures, I didn't go out Friday or Saturday night this weekend. I probably would have seen you if I would have went out. Familiar with Eisenhower Drive in town? I'm sure you are and just about every weekend (either Friday or Saturday) there are quite a bit of diesel trucks out there cruisin' up and down the strip and even sometimes racing if you can happen to get away with it. There are always cops out and you'll also see at least one undercover car too. Last spring and summer I was out just about every weekend driving my truck around, as it's nice to sometimes show these people with cars (especially ricers) who is boss with a truck. Oh, and for gas trucks you have to let them know that "real trucks don't have spark plugs" and of course I have a sticker in my rear window letting them know that. Best $10 I spent to have that sticker. There is one guy I noticed out there a few weekends with a black regular cab 4x4 longbed that had dents in the bed and 2 mitre cut stacks going just a little higher then the cab. Was an 89 or 90, could tell by the grille and it was also a 5-speed (easy to hear him shift gears from a stop or traffic light). There are more 2nd GENs out there as well as 7.3 and 6.0 Fords. It's basically like a car show out there every weekend and that's one reason why I always go out, of course in addition to seeing what diesels are out. Don't tend to pay attention to anything that's gas though.
