Counld not get a good shot under the truck, too much black. This should give you a good idea. Had to fold the pinch weld up to get the sliders tucked up .
Plates for frame are 1/4 inch, steel shop had them left over, legs are 1x3 and main bar is 2x4.

Got the bug to get the new shoes on.
Had to make the sliders shorter, gonna need to trim the body mounts as well.

Just put some paint on it to keep the rust away. Will finish the cut to the bumper as I build a new one. Took 1 inch in a radius all around wheel well. Folded over a small edge and welded to the inner well. Plan to cover lower rocker panels and the wheel well opening with some bedliner.

Tires were hitting the body mount really bad up front. Started to plan a body mount chop...................the realized I never took off the wheel spacers from the Tacoma wheels and the 35's. Took them off, clears just fine
Anyone need some spacers and wheels with worn 35;s? They will be in classifieds real soon.
