    She's on her own weight!!! She is sitting a bit low at 19" to the frame with just over 3.5" of shock shaft showing. Gonna bring it up an inch. @1uzrnr laid down a ton of welds today. I can't thank him enough. Still got a long ways to go but this is a huge milestone and I'm pretty excited

    Thanks! Yeah, hub to fender is 24" so that's just over a 3" lift :eek: I got a new leaf pack going in the rear, so I'll raise the front a little to keep the truck level. I love the way it sits tho, but I don't know if I can daily drive a truck with only a few inches of bump travel :oops: Now to cut the hell out of my fenders :D

    Damn, 19"? That's crazy low:eek:

    Mine is a monster truck by comparison LOL

    Man, it looks great. Those lower links are as flat and paralel to the frame as possible.

    How big are those tires??

    That's impressive man.

    But you still have to show them axles stretching :D

    Might need to :sawzall: some sheet metal.

    I had to cut a bunch of mine - including a big chunk of the corners of my ARB front bumper.

    Great feeling huh when you see her on all fours for the first time?? :D

    For sure! Great motivation to get it done. The front corners will need to go for sure, including that hump under the battery, and passenger side too. Also need to notch the frame for the links. It'll stuff just fine straight up, but with the pass side stuffed and the driver drooped, the drag link hits the frame.

    I drive mine on the street with only 3" of uo travel and the only time it sucked was hitting a massive dip in the road and the tie rod would kiss the oil pan, the other 90% of the time it was fine though. Air bumps made the ride harsher, but stopped evreything from hitting each other, maybe you can mess with the shock shims and coils if you have coilovers.

    Yeah, king 12" coilovers with dual rate springs. Also gonna be running 2" king bumps. I might dick around with the bump spacers to limit extension and nitrogen pressure.

    Lower links are flat on 37s. Should ride nice. I will probably bring it up to 20".
