Looks good man!

I would find a set of 4 door Explorer leaf packs and use those. That should level it out. Either that or a pair of add a leafs. Chevy packs are a bit stiff driving down the road, but they flex great.

A set of 34x10.50 Super Swamper LTB's would look awesome on your truck when you decide to run bigger tires.

What do you have left to do? Looks like shocks, trim u-bolts, and a revised drag link. Is that it?

Yea, I've already got the SD towers, just gotta make some tabs at school. But since I'm selling it, I don't want to put too much more money/time into it.
