Thanks. Yeah I am really happy with how it looks. I still need to take some time this week and actually build the spare tire mount to get it firmly mounted.
I wasted today by playing with the bumper sides.
Got the LEDs mounted up in the bumper wings for my winch cradle an also got them painted. Hopefully tomoro ill get them finished and on the car
Haven't wired up the lights or cut in the turn signals yet, but the sides are all buttoned up and tight. Am digging the look. It only sticks out from the grill maybe an inch or two. Love it
That bumper is sweeeeeet. Truck looks real good

thanks. i'm really happy with it. of course the front approach angle makes the departure angle now look like a damn anchor. gonna work on that shortly.
thanks. i'm actually working on the exhaust right now. cut out the glasspacks and going to weld in some mufflers this weekend. hopefully after that i'll be able to hear how loud my tires are .lol. I will say they drove fine the little driving I've done.
and yes paint is on the list somewhere. i'm going to bed line the rear when I take the bed off to replace the tanks and after I finish all of my suspension and trimming, then i'll work on a spray bomb finish.

Excellent work all around!
Why spank you very much.
Little but of work done today
Got new mufflers hung on there. It's so quiet me and the wife had a conversation thru the truck in quiet voices and could hear each other. What a shocker that was lol.
Also I got em strung up high enough where they're bout equal to the fuel tanks so I'm happy there.
Also got my bluetorch fab cover put on the rear. Hit a speed bump trying to install the fill plug. They use a 9/16 hex to tighten it. Obviously who the **** has one of those. China freight to the rescue. Got a full set of impact hex sockets for $25 lol. Hazah!
Looks great! Nice job man!
I have a 9/16" Allen socket.

Started in on the rear suspension work today.
Got the. 5" blocks out.
Popped in the zero rates to push it back an 1". Just enough to keep the tires out of the fender and more centered.
Gonna start in on pulling the spring hangars tomoro after work. Try to get the shackle flip finished up by Tuesday.

Shackle flip done with the new bump stops
Current shackle angle
Looks like too much angle
Couple of problems I found after doing the move
So I used the zero rate to push it back an inch.
When I put the shackle flip on, if I used the holes from the stock spring hangar, the shackle flip would have hit on the rivets from a rear crossmember, so I moved it up one set of holes. Now it basically undoes the the 1" push backwards.
I think my current plan is to unbolt it, trim the piece off the shackle flip and move it back to the original holes. It'll make my angle a little steeper than now but the clearance on the tire to fender I think is worth it.
Also, realized my shocks are way way to long. I have a set of 14" travel bilsteins to match the 12"ers up front. Was hoping to slap em in but I'd have oractically no compression stroke available. So probably gonna sell those off and grab a set of 10s to replace them.
