Yeah check my gallery for more. Been alot of fab. I notched the frame in the back to get it on the ground. The truck does lay frame now. I made a couple blocks up front to protect the oil pan.

I hate you guys, lol. I'm lifting my 2x c&c cause it doesn't make it into fresh jobsites the way it sits. I love the way vader's truck looks. Those rigs wouldn't even make it up my driveway. More power to ya I suppose. Just remember, these trucks are popular because of their ability. Don't take "all" of it away. Cool looks, cool mods, looks good.

I'm running 2600HD bags front and rear. The 4 link is a weld on kit that I bought. Along with the brackets for the bags to mount to. However I did have to modify pretty much every bracket to make it work for my application. I did the frame notching myself along with boxing it in. I did have to make some brackets from scratch too for part of the 4 link. I went with the parallel 4 link instead of a triangular one because of how close the fuel tank is to the axle. I didn't wanna have to find a new fuel cell. Just gotta do some plumbing and wiring and a couple other button up things and she will be out ripping it up soon. I'll take more pics as I go for you guys.

I appreciate the compliment. With the right bracketry and proper bags i feel like i will be adding to the tricks capability. Could haul just as much if not more with a smoother and more responsive ride. "White knuckle towing" will be a thing of the past

Been driving the truck for the past couple days. So far I'm loving it. It gets a lot of looks and rides smooth if you get the air just right. Posted a couple pics one up one down.

My thoughts exactly. Looks great though. I modified a receiver hitch to fit inside the frame and sourced a flip up license plate bracket from the local pic-n-pull so i could still tow without the hitch being visible when hitch is out.

Maybe a 1970s style bumper? something more graceful.
