01Konvict, thanks!
Well we got the lower front and back brackets on, steering centerlink drop bracket etc. Front tires are bolted on now... Needs alignment. However the tbar torsion drop cross member still needs work. We are on bracket # 2 custom, while trying to retain the lift drop tbar brackets.. We made some custom brackets to retain my stock tbar. We plan to hide the custom bracket with the kit bracket. We are shortening the tbar bracket to possibly 3 inch so it does not hang as much. All that said and done, with no keys in it, it is still higher than the rear. lol. Its Beastly!! 1.5 in the rear and hopefully decrank stock keys.. Ill keep you guys posted.

Road block still is the bracket! I like what the BDS kit did to keep the stock bars location. I am going to get the bracket in the future. However we are going to try to make this custom bracket and just weld it to the frame. The delay now is that we are making a new style. It will go as a spacer between the truck bracket and the crossmember on both sides but be welded. Im actually leaving the stock tbar crossmember in place, while using the pickup cross member. This kit sure added a lot of weight but rigidity. It looks hella bad ass, when we had the front extended with the spindles it was pretty much almost touching the ground without the tire. That alot of travel, and that is what I wanted!! Also the adjustable shocks are sweet, it can get so stiff you need a prybar, or lose enough to move by hand all depending on the settings! I am also getting ready to slap the 1.5" spacers in the rear today. The weather sure has been ******.

Finally!! It's installed and aligned. Truck x member. With custom brackets. It looks ****!! Front is slightly higher than the rear with the 1.5 rear spacer. I may lower the front just a bit. But the ride is awesome. No regrets. Will get some pics tmrw

Was worried as the tires looked tiny! Ride quality is great but wasn't satisfied with the size of tires. I was even going to loose the rear spacer and attempt to decrank. Long story short kept the spacer and leveled the front exactly as it was higher than the rear.
