alwaysHI 17' MGM DCSB Build

@ARCHIVE Hh and HC cross tube installed. what a pain lol. First side took me 4 hrs (cause I didn’t want to remove my alcans..) then I did - second side took 1.5 hrs lol
I found air chisel don’t work for beans on the rivets.

i ground them flush with the stock hangers, knocked the old hangers off, grind the remaining amount flush with frame.
I then used a ball joint press for the bottom rivets (easy)
What worked well, and very easy for the top rivets we’re drilling the 1/4 pilot, then following up with the 1/2”.

truck is definitely stiffer/more rigid in turns (I can feel it especially since my truck is high).
Anywhos, here the install (I chopped my exhaust more but didn’t snap a pic)

 

Checked trans oil today. Right on the money.
