I have to finish the spindles and CV axles up front, put the torsion drop brackets in and start on the back.. I'm about 45% finished..




Thanks brother! No It has the brackets to drop the full crossmember.. I'll snap a pic when I get home.. (They look different than the ones in the eBay screenshot I posted)

I'm running a 6in RCX suspension and a 3in body lift with 37 13.50's. My RCX lift has that torsion drop too. I didn't mind it at first but now I can't stand it. I need relocation brackets to tuck them back in the frame!!!

I didn't realize there was a kit that hid the keys until after I brought this one.. I would have sprang for the other one but I'll manage.. I was contemplating a 2" body lift and bigger tires later, do you have a clearer picture of your rig and what gear are you running?

Going to look great! I'd skip the spacers your looking at and go with hub and wheel centric spacers.

Looks killer! Ive always liked em without the flares.. The body lift was executed perfectly on that bad boy. What RPMs are you running at 70 with 5:11's!?

Axles and hubs in, I have 4 new ball joints going in tomorrow whenever I get the tool (Guess I'll have a 100k tool collection one day).. That's my good luck ***** cat

Hung the torsion cmember drop brackets.. It has large self tapping bolts that I have to drop the running boards to get too..

Don't y'all love my rust free rig btw?;)

And winding down tonight with Porkie, he has the personality of an a-hole, just like me..

I appreciate it bubba! I forgot to mention I also have 2in RC spacers. I stripped all the z71 flares plastics roof rack and nerf bars as soon as I got it. Just looks more clean imo. I want to hide the frame a bit with some new nerf bars but I can't find any I care for.

I want to say I sit about 1.8-2k runnin 70 down the highway.
