Sweeeeeeeeeet. Looks like you tinted the parking lamps like I did. I'll shoot some pictures next week after I get all my gear in. Our vans look like they are gonna be pretty similar.

Re: my bagged van (now with specs and #'s)
so i started my next project i'm taking the monoleaf out and putting the stock leafs back in and removing the flip kit and shaving the top leaf mounts off the axle tubes and using weld on leaf perches and shock mounts from a blazer i'll post pics up once i get all the parts here but this will help alot with the pinion angle that i have had problems with since i lowered the van i'll still get the same amount of drop but i'll get my ride quality back i did the mono leaf hoping to get more drop but did'nt so i have an extra set of leafs in my garage that are going back in i should have everything done by next week

alright heres the new pics you can see where the bag mounts are now level instead of angled like before. And also you can see where the driveshaft was hitting the frame next to the gas tank i even through in a pic of it parked in front of my blazer
