Re: Anyone know???.....
I used Commercial Services for my front suspension clip. I did the whole truck with a ginder and about 30 wire wheels and a pressure washer. The front clip had so many grooves and creveses that I really had to have it done. Its not real cheap there but convenient for me as I live off Howard lane .....
