Well that's funny I have, I must be special then..
QA1's are a good choice to go with plus it will make so much more room under the truck. But you need to go further I did for now, my truck rides smoother then torsion bars but to get the drop I want I need to crank the springs down and it goes back to riding like a mini truck.
Painting the hood and roof will be a great idea for starters, even a cream or white done right will look very good. But hey if you seen my truck you would tell I have no style..
And by the way welcome aboard..
