Can anyone tell why the shiny red truck is riding so low in the front? He has factory tires and factory suspension, yet his front ride height is like 2" lower than mine, and both our trucks are 2wd jobbies...

LOL maybe someone here can answer that better. I just went out to measure, and it's dead on 2 3/4" from bottom of the fender to the top of the treads.

first get the clutch, glowplugs, ujoints, rear shock mount(look at pic from right front and see rear shock laying on the ground). After that i wanna get all new sheet metal and throw on a cowl induction hood. as far as performance, planning on moose pump, moose injectors, dodge intercooler, arp studs, some 19:1 compression pistons, upgrade the turbo, swap in a upgraded ZF5, do a dana swap in the front, repaint it IH red, and top it off with some turn out stacks. and of course gauges.
