then i found explorer leather seats, center console and over head console for $70! and added a set of gauges so i know my actual oil pres, water temp, and voltage.

then i found myself a lift for dirt cheap, i know the radius arm drop brackets suck but i cant afford extended ones yet so these will do for now

Lookin good man, are those the 4 inch or 6 inch coils??

they are the 6, the 4inch coils only gave 3inches of lift. and with my drop brackets in the 4inch holes my tires were like this /---\. so i put the 6inch ones in and i love it.
 
Bummer dude, sorry those 4 inchers didnt work out for ya, they measured out right, maybe it was a drop bracket thing?? I dont know, glad you got it figured out, and the truck looks great.
 
small update

got some 33x12.5r15s on rims.

so monday i believe i got bad gas, my friends jeep and my truck both have been gutless since monday. i have been going through everything to try and figure it out and i believe that my injectors are clogged, whats the best way to clean them out?
 
Try that lucas fuel injector Cleaner or Sea Foam local parts store will have this.
 
Where is that at??

Also looks like your gonna need an FA600 pitman arm in the near future :D

The best, only sure way to un-clog injectors, is to head to Dr. Injector, get new o-rings, filters, and pintle caps and go through your injectors... Any bottle of "injector cleaner" is just snake oil... and Sea-Foam is WAY overrated... I think people just like to make a bunch of smoke...
