I think they just went in and cleaned a bunch of stuff up. It was closed, and the new one started on the same day I believe.

If you were referring to my primered hunk...
it is a stylin concepts 5/5.
- front is 3" spindles and 2" springs. (i removed the bump stops altogether- after 4 or 5 years my lower control arms are toast)
- the rear is a simple flip.
the wheels are 17 and big n little tires give it a little rake.

the mount that holds the bumpstop on mine is crushed, and i was thinking of just taking the whole mount and bumpstop out, do you have any problems? hit it a lot?

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 
2 problems with removal.
1. it gets a little bouncy and the tires will rub fenderwells on a big dip
2. no steering stops from lock to lock, so you have to be gentle.
**
not too much crossmember bottoms, but a few hard hits on potholes etc have
wreaked havoc on the leading ege of my control arms...

My rig. Wish it sat a tad lower in the front but maybe the coils will settle in a tad more, doubt it though. Painting it next year and I have a rollpan sitting in the garage to go on.
