I just found it. That sucks, but it could have been a LOT worse. When I was 17 I had my dad's truck up on the highway. Hit an icy bridge that was on a curve and lost it. Fish-tailed and ended up going backwards. Caught the driver's front on the cable rails then they snagged the driver's rear corner. Those cables stop you QUICK! Unfortunately, they do a hell of a lot of damage in the process.

Dad was not happy.

My truck came from dc. Everything on it was rusted. That was the hardest part of puttin the lift on. As far as your truck it's lookin good. Maybe lose the door trim and get center caps

You're lucky that was all. My friend's vehicles are always falling apart by 100k miles. Roads there are really rough!

Yeah I spent a lot of time slappin some rustoleum all over the undercarriage. We were never able to get the torsion bars freed from the lower control arms so we had to hold them up as one piece. We had heat and sledge hammers and all but rust is tough. The lift was actually the best thing for it because i replaced everything that was deteriorating
