I love the fact that you are doing mods along the way instead of trading and losing and paying big bucks for new. So much better sled and satisfying!

That's what I did. Did you clear coat it at all?

What was the cost of the ALPHA swap. I want to do the exact same things rail & elevate. Did you have to buy alpha rear shocks or did the 18’s work

i picked up the rail,drivers,aluminum shaft,shocks and track from kanedoggy! I also had to source out the newer style brake caliper as it’s thinner and rotor with a couple spacers. My 18 was earlybuild so it had the steel shaft[/QUOTE]

looks good!. Did you just spray bomb the rail or was it powder coated green?

Paint from cat

Paint from cat

That paint should hold up fine, its an enamel paint and is strong as long as it cures 100%, which takes about 30 days. If you have a warm sunny day park it out on the lawn and it will help speed things up
