now as for pictures i wish i could be you see the damn bushings refuse to let go of my bolts so its still all stock which makes me real angry but i need to go out and find some bushings APC wants $45 bucks for 2 and i need 4.... and i dont have the cash to spend 100bucks on bushings when i only spent 10 bucks on materials to make the shackles

hey Dave, any luck gettin those shackles that you made on your truck yet?
