I don't know him but I know he built the exo. He was mid build and started a thread on pirate about he was unsure as to whether to finish or cut it off, lol. About 50 people immediately told him to keep going as it was looking good.

Damn, beat me to it by 1 minute...
current setup
I am currently running 52" springs up front with the axle moved forward another 1" with zero rates. The rear springs are 56" backwards with overloads in place and a secured block moving it back another 3/4". Currently running 10" shocks in front and 9012s in the back. I have 9012s for the front but i have yet to modify the front shock mounts and I need longer brake lines. The wheelbase is close to 116". If you need more information let me know. bboy

bboy, the exo is very impressive! So far, have you found that it gets in the way or helps? I've heard some people say an exo can make an already wide body too wide. Personally, I love it so I'm curious.
How much total lift do you have?
TIA!

nvrenuf,
I have no regrets with the exo. The day may come that I hang up on it but with it so close to the body I don't think it will be often. It already saved my soft top from sure damage. on the lift, I'm not sure. Its 55" to the body line below the door handles.
muddyblzr,
Yes the ride was in Gilmer. At least one of those pics was from DeWoody. I would like some pics from Spring Creek, I'm very interested and I can pm someone email addresses if you have pics. Shackles are in stock location and 2" longer than factory.

The cage is 2" erw. .120 wall. Bent with a manual Pro Tools bender

I would do it again. The truck has gotten a few compiments. I think the fenders could be removed by removing the core support first.

I live in SW Louisiana. Not a hill around. I have to travel to wheel. I wish I could move but I must stay close to the Petrochemical Industries.
And last but not least Thanks for all of the compliments. bboy
