I still have full bumpstops and didn't put the Pinto shocks in yet so real bouncy up front :-)
The front is resting on the bumpstops

just remember if you cut the bumpstops, and your a little lower, you might wanna get it aligned again, unless your not aligned now....but the key word is aligned

I posted something on clubfrontier.org
Like i said it looks awesome, im even happier your making it a street performance truck. I've actually thought about getting a hardbody but im a 2nd gen man so it may just be a very worn 05 se kingcab taht gets the treatment.

Nice lookin truck dude! I was thinking about doing the pintos for a while, but ended up getting some Belltech Nitro II Drop shocks for the front- soooo good. worth the investment, and, you don't have to spend anytime with the BFH smashing out the post in the Pintos! straight bolt up is priceless...
As far as bumpstops go... I didn't want to pull apart the front suspension just to drill a larger hole for Energy Suspension bumpstops, so I just took a knife to my stock ones- whittled them down to about 1/2". still havent bottomed out. In the rear, I removed the bumpstops and wrapped the frame with some rubber from a thick hose that I split open. Just in case I ever smack in the back- I don't want to hear 'CLAAANNGGG'!!
Keep us posted- nice truck

She was at the register with me while the guy was ringing me up and before he gave me my total I said "Baby your car will look sick with that steering wheel cover you were looking at go grab it" I did not want her to see how much I was spending

Steering wheel cover = .5$

Just try to buy parts on every payday, eventually you'll have everything you need.

My favorite is "of course I need this stuff. I mean, I could just replace it with stock parts, but that's what wore out in the first place"

My truck has 40,000 miles on it and i'm telling her my truck needs new shocks.
I had to go all the way to the Apache Junction Autozone to get my Pinto shocks.
