Re: Re-doing "La Blue" once again

Man your truck looks damn good. We have a mutual friend that has been helping me with my build (JJ from Pasadena). I cut my cups down to about 1/2" and I think I may have cut to much. Does your bags rub on your lower control arms any and if so how bad have they worn?
