sliders look great. Dude hack the wiring like your bike, just flip some switches and go.

Although if it were a pre-1980's car that would only really work. So time for a motor swap!

they are 2.63's. They are for my upper link. I didnt go with the 3.0's as my lowers already use 2.63's and all my brackets are built for the 2.63's.

Dont know about that. I may just buy a quart or two of cheap bed liner and do that on the inside.

Do the bedliner after everything else is done. I did that first and I wish I would've waited. That stuff gives you a headache when it heats up from cutting the floor/body panels it is on.

That what Im going to do. I hate cleaning paint off dont even want to mess with bedliner. Plus I attempted to put my doubler/tcase in today and found out Im going to be doing some major surgery on the body. The doubler fits fine but the tcase now hits all over the place, enough so that it doesnt fit. Im going to have to cut out a bunch of the floor so that it does fit. I think Im going to take this time to move the back end of the trans and everything up for better belly clearance.
