    Was getting some serious vibes after the lift so I picked up some washers and stacked them up to drop the carrier bearing 1/2". Made a huge difference but I'm still getting some vibes between 10-20 mph. May go get another pack and drop it a bit more, or try some axle shims.

    And I cleaned it a little bit for the first time in over a month!

    Probably a bumper, that would complete it IMO

    Nice man! Be sure to put some pictures up!

    Haha yeah, everyone says that. I actually really like it on my particular truck :anonymous: Flows really well with the color scheme IMO. I might see what it looks like by taking it off just for you haha. Same thing on the pinstriping though. I've been debating on taking the black trim on the rocker panels off though..

    Originally I was wanting to mount a 30" in my stock bumper between the turn signals. It'd be all stealthy :cool:

    Picked up some 1/8" plate to box the frame and 1.5" tubing for a crossmember/upper shock mounts. Should be knocking that out tomorrow so I can get my shocks on and quit bouncing everywhere!

    Removed the spare tire carrier, boxed some of my rear frame, fabbed a crossmember/upper shock mounts with 2 mounting options, and got my 5125's on. I'm super impressed with the ride of the overall lift now that I've got it completed!

    Tape trick

    Crossmember
    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Had to ditch the middle mounting hole to clear the shock body
    [​IMG]

    Tacked in. Also for the lower mount I cut a spring perch in half, drilled a hole and tacked a bolt in it. I don't like how far it sticks down below the axle but we were running out of time and it will work for now.
