^lol!


When I went down Thurs night for the rear lift, I was completely loving the height of the back. Reminded me of a local shop owners '08 Fiddy with the 8" kit on it and 37's. The top of the tailgate on Korey's truck....was at my forehead. And I'm 5'11".

We kinda have alot done but we don't... Had to take my cats out to fit the upper control arm bracket... Cut the front crossmember thing out and took the steering rack out. Then welded a new one in. Got the lower control arms in the right spot and the upper link in the right spot. Cycled the suspension and no binding. I had to run to a couple places to get a foot long u bolts and drop my rear driveline off to be lengthened and converted to work with the rear 9" which took a good 4 hours. Panhard will be mounted up after work tomorrow. Coils should be on tomorrow night as well as steering most of the way done. Then i'm hoping wednesday I can do the rearend real quick, finish stuff up and it'll be complete. Still having trouble getting the rear shafts redrilled to 6 lug. That material is hard... More pics will be up later tonight or tomorrow. My buddy has the camera.
