The rear received a custom two-link and Slam Specialties RE74RE8 airbags with Nitro shocks, which provide the adjustable ride height and quality.

When asked how he felt about the truck's build, David said he loves the truck, but hates that people give him a hard time for not building it himself. He fixed many of the truck's flaws from the original build, repainted wherever needed, refitted the torn-off or torn-up parts from dragging, and is currently reupholstering the interior.
This is a sweet ride, regardless of who built it. A person probably saves about half the cost by picking up a truck with good mods, versus building one, or having one built.
Since this truck was done right, David will also have a better idea of how good stuff is built for the future. As his first 'bagged custom truck, we feel it's better than all the first-attempt hack jobs that will never see asphalt.
