Pulling the frame is gonna be a challenge maybe you could look into sand or media blasting but idk if it's possible with the cab and everything still bolted

Not that hard when you have lots of free time and access to a complete automotive/marine shop with cranes

You prolly already found this out....but the bilstein 5100 shock is also a level as well......I had a pic ....A long time ago...as for the exhaust....you can do a ''cat back'' system for under 200 bucks.....mine is called American thunder, it comes with aluminized pipes with all the hangers and a flowmaster 50 series muffler.........used high heatengine paint to prolong the look/life.

I have a Hbt level kit being delivered tomorrow so not going the 5100 route right now that is. But very interested in the cat back. My pipes are fine from the muffler back, so I was thinking just a flowy 50 HD and keep the pipes

40's sound good too just a little louder then the 50 lower the number louder the exhaust 10's are the loudest that I know of idk about their outlaw series but I've got the 10's and it's a single chamber race muffler sounds good at cruising and high RPM but 1700 to 2400 sounds poppy I'll probably switch to 40's

nearest I can figure, the exhaust was the first mod I did....but I didn't keep track until 5 month's later......I do remember looking through a magazine......jc whitney comes to mind...I'm almost sure of it.....

you'll like the 50, It's loud enough at wot and quiet enough at idle for the beantown po-po.
