Nice! Not bad at all for a pickup truck on 31" tires!

How'd she bend all the rims?

Yea it did tighten up the front my steering feels tighter and some of the little creaks i use to get in the front are complety gone. I still need to pull the bumper off soon to paint the thing. I only pit 4 bolts in last night and the ones in the front were a pain in the @ss to get.
