Came with a poorly done and unfinished american flag on the hood 3in lifting coils in the front and a 2in block lift in the back and tube doors. When i bought it i drove it back from parker to thornton in the middle of a snow storm over a hour and a half drive. The next weekend i took it to my fathers shop to look it over found my leafs all broken only thing holding the axle from falling out is the u-bolts.

Went to my local pull and pay and bought 4.5in skyjacker lifting springs for 40 bucks then i proceeded to buy coil spring spacers to even out my vehicle as it sat very strange with a 1.5in difference in the lift. And also bought new pro comp front and rear shocks

Shortly after doing this it became obvious something was wrong cause i developed such terrible death wobble couldn't keep the vehicle on the road if i hit a pot hole of any kind. So after narrowing it down buying a new track bar that i have relocated it helped some but did now solve the problem. Then it hit me that the previous owner never replaced the lower control arms. I took the passenger side off using a air hammer and torch (bushing's were in terrible shape), the driver side lower control arm bushings were so rusted had to cut the bolt of to get it off.

Right now i am in the middle of tracking down parts for switching my windows to manual so it will be easy to rock these in the summer.
And also waiting for my roof rack to be completed
