I forgot the website I think airbagginit.com maybe had a list of shops to go to. There isn't any that were listed in oregon, but it listed the nearest ones to me and helped out.

Also you said you didn't pay the guy, I can see why. But did you have to give him a down payment or any money? If so is it too personal to ask how much you gave him? Just curious

Wow man. Just catching up on the project. Sure their name isn't I Suck Balls Customs? I feel sorry for whoever has to fix that mess. Good luck on the recovery.

Re: 3 1/2 in. BD on 24s!!

go with 16 or 18 gauge sheetmetal. The sheetmetal on these trucks and only 20 gauge steel and anything much thicker than that will be hard to weld to the thin stock floor.

it's hard to get away from having to modify any interior panels, but if you make your cuts a couple inches away from the sidewalls like the panel where the seatbelt comes out of behind the door and the panel where the hood realease is then you should be ok.

just cut a big square out of the floor 2" from the sides and straight along the front and back & raise that.
