Ok fellas, I got out before it started the terrential down pour.

here are some pics.

She definately has much more down travel in both front and rear, the up travel in the front makes me pretty happy as, when the springs are flat the shackle is in a decent position and the drive shaft still has about an inch of movement before it bottoms out.

Shackle position in front w/ flat springs.

clearance between ram/draglink and assorted things that usually get in the way. the shocks that are on there are 86'd tomarrow. the new ones will be a tad bit longer so i will have to address that.

front tire up. A little trimming is needed in the back.

also, I'm REALLY digging that blue paint.. very awsome color ;)
Yeah, my truck looked like that factory ... except it had doors, and a full-width nose, and smaller tires, and :haha:

I like the rig. Simple, elegant, well built. I'm jealous of your cage.

Thats a damn nice truck, makes me want to break out the sawzall on mine!!:thumb:
 
rig looks good, truck is coming together nice.
 
I gotta ask who did your cage ? and how much to do one simular to it?
 
is that completely flexed out? can you take more pics of your ram-assist mounting? looks like a setup i might want to go with eventually when i get new arms...looks sweet

It has more down travel in both front and rear. im gonna keep the up travel in the front limited to what you see because of ram and driveshaft clearance. The rear can come up some more, I just have to do some more :hack::grind: to the rear fenders.
