yeah its got forward rake cause of the lack of weight in back, shocks need to be revalved and the front needs some crank up.

thanks guys, should be able to get the bumpers front and rear done and driving it on the road by monday

That looks so good! Is there a big advantage to having the leaves under the axle? And out of curiousity, what kind of bender are you using?

finish welding in all of the supports and most of the rear bumper. also got the tailights in and hopefully can be driving it on the road tomorrow.I tried for today but I was too busy running around. I still need to finish the front bumper, but thats about it. The tailights were a PITA to say the least to fit and look ok. I kinda wish I woulda ordered the ones with no tailights holes and just made some sweet LED tails work off the cage

has some lean from the low air in drivers front tire.

Once I get done with the metal work I'm going to take them off and rip them apart. Then I need to measure my shims and see what I've got and what stack/s I need to order. I also need to buy a new battery, yellow top or red,and get a mount for the bedcage.
