    Thanks, had a year or two of reading builds on here, pirate, and TTORA to help me along. Just need to regear front and rear, make skid plate/crossmember, and weld together the drive shaft.

    He's gotta be at like a 20 or 21 inch frame height in that picture... (I am at 21" on 37s!!) It normally sits at 24":

    Interesting... I was wanting to do that aswell but all depends on where I end up. Either here in NM or WI. If I stay I might convert at a later date.

    Why? That's at full bump, meaning no uptravel. There is a point where your frame height hinders what you drive over too. 24-26" frame height is perfect depending on what axles you're running. I'd bet that 99% of wheelers would probably prefer to have a taller truck with uptravel than a low truck with no uptravel.
