Haha not well. It's back to stock right now. I had the shop I usually bring it to look at it and he thinks they sent me the wrong part. The lower control arm was locking the spindle in place. It would have taken way too much grinding to get it to fit.

Pretty much done with the truck right now cuz she's my DD. But jn the far future I'd like to add a mid or long travel suspension with glass and front/rear tube bumpers.

It's either called metal fab works or metal works fab. They've gotten me a quote before and from what I can tell are pretty good priced for quality stuff
