I have TB tool 
I was going to ship it to Marc 6 months ago when I was finished with it, but it cost 2x the value of it to ship.
Progress pics. Cleaning up garage bay and prepping truck.
Already removed bed & tailgate.
Getting ready to put the truck on jack stands.

Yeah you can see the front of the bed and the lower back half cab has that overspray clearcoat on it.
Really makes the rest of the good paint stand out. Shiny... and its dirty right now.
I'll be able to detail and wax it in September. Just wanted to wait a while for it to outgas.
Good write-up on new paint and why painters tell you to wait 30 days before waxing

It's only 30 days? I thought it was a year? That's what macco told my gf and I figured that would be the same for my truck since I got some panels repainted
Not a lot of progress. Had to go into the office for a bit.
Got it up on Jack stands. Unloaded torsion keys. Unbolted T-bar crossmember.
Removed lugs on rims. I have everything soaking in a penetrant now.
re-sprayed the keys and where the torsion bars plug into the control arm.
Hoping it will all come loose without too much trouble tomorrow.

If I ever do a full blown build on a lifted truck, it will definitely have a powdered frame and lift along with plenty of chrome.
I don't know what a PC frame here would be. I plan on painting it though.
I don't want to tear this thing completely down just for a PC.. a lot of hidden cost there.
I'm going back out in a few minutes to hammer on the front of the torsion bars and see if they pop out.
