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.

Thanks man!!

Been doing a lot to it as well. Lol always under the knife. Switched wheels to 20x12, adjusted stock keys. Ohh on my same 35 inch grappler tires.

Waiting for my heavy duty Rear Parts tie rod ends... then alignment... Then painted shiny stock black to match the new wheels. Also got stock fender flares black plastic to throw on. New longer driveshaft is also in order.

Then finally more engine mods like the blower for the lq9... All in due time as she rides great now.

Here is a pic of the new stance. Teaser..

The trucks is not even painted yet. I'm still getting the Plati dip off. Lol thanks.

Rare Parts Heavy duty tie rods now installed and front lowered to level with rear. Need alignment and new longer driveshaft next. Trying to keep at this height no higher. So I may also have to trim my bumper some more.

Also realized I never mentioned my rear end in this thread. But it's a Procomp 4" lift with 1.5" spacers under the springs. It has drop control arm brackets for upper and lower trailer in arms. Panhand bar drop brackets. I recommend adjustable bar as well. Adjustable 6" shocks in rear. Just like the front 4 shocks. Longer heavy duty swaybar end links. 4.56 rear end.
