    Still 1. In order to retain the proper 4x4 geometry on the camburg kit we removed everything above the UCA bolt on the OEM coilbucket, then plated and gusseted the OEM bucket and built a new shock mount and secondary hoop above the remaining skeleton of the OEM bucket.

    I'll try and get some more pics for you guys as the truck comes together more. The front end on this truck is very solid.

    That's an understatement. I saw this thing in person, the front end is incredible.

    Turn Key LS3 can't remember what package it was since Turn key has about 6 different setups from 480hp to 710hp on the LS3s

    I know that dude!

    correct, the Giant 64" setup with custom shackles and hangers.

    Definitely not a street queen, although I do usually drive it to work on Mondays. Since I have rebuilt the front end I have put about 300 or so dirt miles on the truck. I don't know a ton of people that go out to the desert; I normally only go out with my wife or just one other person... so I never get any pictures or video. If you want to volunteer to be the cameraman you are more than welcome to come out and take some for me :).

    I know it isn't anything exciting...but here is a picture from the first trip on the new front end.

    Hey now, it's not our fault you don't show up to the DR meets out in the desert! Local meets is a joke for sure though.. Only had 2 good ones and 100 failed attempts.

    IIRC I read somewhere that shackle flips and rear LT spring setups aren't meant to be together. Can someone tell me why please?

    That person just made the shackle flip and ill hopefully be installing my defined kit. I know typically they give you more flex so geared more to rock crawling.
