haha... nice

i assume the front will be just as low or lower? be sure the suspension doesn't bottom out up there!!!

you might have to completely remove the bump stops but then if you hit any bumps you'll definitely be feeling it!

well the rear has no bump stops so i assume your talking about the front,

i got some super slim stops for the front that will be going in sometime this week

tomorrow the other c-notch will be done and ill be attempting to but the bed back on by myself haha

The plate on top of the chassis was as overkill. They're not necessary when you use curves for the notch. But its better to be safe than sorry.

Nice work indeed, I'd love to drop my truck like that, but when I think about the roads around here I cringe at the damage it would do.

The roads here are bad but the killer is the humps. They're at least 6". The wingraod has 17's with stock suspension and I still have to cross sideways.

I had a similar problem when I first got mine. That was corrected when I raised it back up and got the alignment redone. What are you going to do about rims or are you leaving the steelies. Check the date on your camera.
