screw putting the small tires on, just let the air down to 5 psi and get 5 of yer bestest friends to ride the bumpers. 
it's looking great though!
are you gonna do a full perimeter weld around the square tubing for the front spring mounts?

If your talking about the tubing connecting the spring pockets I skip welded the front and back. The spring pockets have gotten seal welded and the brackets that came with the kit also have 100% weld.

I was gonna suggest a full weld from left to right, front and rear, on the tube where it meets the chassis. but what showed up on the pic after I posted my question, does as well.
like I said, it looks great.

Thanks for the good comments and I'll take any suggestion and see if it will make my build better. That is what I LIKE about yotatech is the sharing of ideas during the building process.

I Picked the rims up used from a local toyota junk yard,so I don't know the back spacing. I was thinking of taking the spacers off the front axle if its too wide when I get the whole truck done.

Here we go agian!! We got this far last week and will be finished soon.
We are still trying to figer out some height issues and how much weight the spare tire rack will cause it to sage but other than that it's comeing along real good..

Thanks.We are trying to finish this thing up in the next week or so, Then we can( OR should I say DAN) can get his bumpers on there and the tire rack. At this point I have to say it's all him. I don't weld and if there is nothing to turn a wrench on, I'm kinda there for moral support and the occasional lift here and hold this, But it's always fun to watch this stuff go down. Like when I build a motor.
