Great build! How big is your shop? From some of the pictures, it looks pretty good size.

The whole thing is 72 x 84, our house is built on the inside of it. We actually just sold it this week. We are down sizing everything because im trying to open up a business and cant afford the mortgage and the risk of the business. It was nice having it tho.

I need to take some pictures but I spent the last few weeks doing body work, lots of sanding. I re-epoxied the spots that I sanded too much on and got down to bare metal, then I sprayed two coats of Hi-Build primer. So now more sanding lol.

After hours of research I decided to go with the skyjacker 8 inch springs for my build. I have a set of 6 in tuff country springs that rode well also.

Its getting there, its a slow process. I've got just about everything picked out and my shop location. I'm just waiting on the bank and financing. I haven't got to sand anything in a while i'm having withdrawals
