Next project this weekend is a set of add a leafs for the rear and cranking tthe torsion bars. I think it will give me some motivation for bigger tires Plus it's a cheap way to make some decent improvements.

Crank the torsion bars? Did I miss something here? Are you thinking off doing a washer lift on the front and add-a-leaf in the back?

Do you need a spring compressor to do the washer lift

Its been so long since I had a stock suspension, I dont know. I know with extended radius arms I didnt need one. Dont want to steer you in the wrong direction. Just remember that 1 inch of washers equals 1 1/2 inches of lift. :icon_thumby:

FWIW, I was thinking of using roll on bed liner on my roof in the same pattern you did yours.

I wanted to do that but I wanted to see what it would look like first. I wish I had rolled it onj though because the wind blew overspray all over the hood. I thought about painting the doors too and putting Giant gold stars on them. Make it look like a Cop B2.
Maybe a light bar too.
