    Damn looks great, on a side note I would seal the solenoid of that particular winch with some silicone, mine was never used and corroded after I drove through 1 rain storm, luckily Amazon sent me a new one for free, all I had to do was return mine. Great job on the build.

    Well, it left the shop today.

    We installed a new grill, headlights, and marker lights before it left him.

    It looks tiny on 33s, but adequate for what he wanted. 35s will be next on his list.

    The truck looks awesome.
    Question. You guys got the frame height pretty low and like you said with 33's (it looks tiny) it looks like there is a ton of room to cycle the suspension.
    How much lower could you go? Just curious

    Depends on how much up travel you want/need. We could maybe get it an inch lower, but you are going to start being limited by the flat frame up front. We would also need to french the shackles up front even further into the frame.

    FWIW, these are still new springs, and they will settle another inch anyway. IMHO, this is pretty much it for height with leafs. Once it settles another inch over time, I don't think you would want it any lower.

    Factory frame height is 19" with stock sized tires. so this is only around 5" of total lift.

    It handles great on the road.

    Action shots are hard since he lives a couple hours away. I will ask him to email me some pics.

    It will be coming back in soon for dual cases and some other work.

    That thing is super sick. Probably the exact same thing I'd have you do if I could. Even the color is spot-on.
