Looks like you reused the inverted spring mounts for your lower bar mounts. Good idea! Triangulated upper too. Nice work! Would you do anything different if you had to do it over?

Yes. Build a car to go fast, and keep the truck mild for cruising.... lol

Nah, I'd four link it to begin with. That's about it.

Looking good. I like the stock appearing tubs.

Here is a pic of the inside of my bed. Somewhat similiar.
