Check out my engine bay

I was bored sunday and after the cpp show I decided to clean up my engine bay a bit. Some rustoleum rattle cans go a long way. I used thinner,painters blue tape, masking paper,80 grit sand paper and lots of cold beer. Lol. My bay looks nothing like the show trucks of Cpp show saturday but I am on a budget and for what I spent it looks much much better. What do you guys think? Master cylinder and headers are next to be painted. Note billet radiator,hoses,heater hoses are on there way. Thanks comments and feedback are encouraged and welcomed. Lol

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
