I just hate body lifts though. You have to remove the hitch for it look good and that makes a truck pointless IMO.

a little bit of progress in the last couple days. got the tailgate fitted, rough fit the bedside and threw the tail lights in for the hell of it. the bedside will get welded on soon and the bed will go back on the truck before he finishes the body work on the right side.
