How hard was it to run the wires?

No its a k-10 truck. Factory 4.11's and posi. 4spd, 350. It has a home-made 4" lift consisting of factory main leaf and rear leafs from another truck in the front and 3" blocks out back.

I ordered 6" tuff country front spings just waiting for them to get here.

Put a chrome bumper on though. Think I should put my tow hooks back on??? I'm undecided.

Chrome bumper:

Sorry for the bad photos these are all from my phone. I don't have the patience to carry my digital camera around when I'm workin on it. lol.

Running the wires was fairly difficult but just takes some patience.

I used fence wire to fish the wires down into the large hole behind the sun visors.

From there I ran a single wire down each A-pillar to the fuse box. I didn't try to fish the wires on the INSIDE of the A-pillar, I just ran them underneath the windshield seal. You can't even tell they are there.
