2WD X-Cab Solid axle swap. Follow my build up!

Been a while but i finally have the entire rear supension worked out. Now i just need custom springs made. Unfortunatley i cant do that until i the front suspension figured out, im gonna do something a lil defferant with the fron mounts. So withouth further ado...

I had to cut out the crossmember to make way for driveshaft clearance. Inside the frame is a piece of 3/8" angle for added support. its bolted through fron the bottom and through the sides.

I need 5 extra inches of lift as it sits now in the rear. (thats without the weight of a bed) But i got a cool thing im gonna do for the bed that i finally decided on. (TOP SECRET:p: )
 
Well, i decided to sell it. I want to buy some land and a new vechicle. All in all i just cant afford a project like this right now:o
