Took longer for the paint to dry then it did to actually fab them. This wont completely seal them up, but it will keep the majority of debris out.

Hmm ever thought of making another pair? And maybe a price

I also lifted it, all junkyard parts minus the Bilstein 5125. I used V8 Tbird coils and early 90's rear sway bar links in the front. In the rear I installed a full 2wd S10 leaf spring pack, required some fab work but totally worth it.

Next to a stocker for a comparison.

The junkyard lift flexes pretty good, I fabbed some Mid Length LCA which helps the front a lot.

Installed a Cobra 29LTD Classic under the dash, everyone knows there's hardly any room for a radio. After seeing everyone mount them on the passenger side of transmission hump, I opted to go this route, more aesthetically pleasing.
