    Not yet lol.
    3/4" Hiems all right hand thread. And not sure if i want to use Chromo or DOM. I can get both cheap.

    Once that is done, im purchasing stepped weld washers solid mounting the lowers, fully boxing in the stock spindle. Finishing motor mount gussets and and double shear uppers, and ill have a solid front end.

    I normally go for 5-6 caster at ride height and go to 10 degrees at bump, that's with the top of the spindle towards your cab

    I thought about this but the frame starts tapering at the back of the cab. Even my front hangers had to be angled. I guess if you move the front hangers in too you'll be in the clear. :D
