Get us a better pic once you get her out and about. I think its kinda cool for a drag truck. Especially if you set it up right. Now, if ya just leave it looking like a stock 4x4 truck with 4 broken leaf springs then I think it could look real odd.

Haha sorry guys. The picture is a joke. I didn't mess anything up. I took my front end out to rebuild and took my leaf springs out. Since I'm taking the engine out I decided to drop the truck as low as I can. I bolted the hub back to the wheel and put the hub selector over it to make it look real. If it was the axle housing would be almost on top of the frame.

Haha yeah and a engine lift. That pic doesn't do it justice. The top of the tire was half an inch from the top of inner fender. I thought u guys would get a kick out of it. Fooled my neighbor!
