Looks great man! Im actually planning on doing the same swap onmy truck. Funny things is I have the exact same truck even down to the color, so seeing yours has given me the itch cuz I know exactly how it should look! Thanks for the updates. Ill be sure to get in touch with you when I get to mine and have some questions.

Ok, so I have been slacking on updates, and more importantly pics. The front end is basically "built" now. Longfields, marlin 25mm knuckle bearing kit/ high steer arms, tg knuckle ball gussets, tg full face diff guard, flushed in front drain plug. The truck has a warm m8000, and a bumperr I built using a tg winch plate and some 1.75 tube. I also have all the parts to do duals, and a 4.7 gear set, picked up a front range x member too. pics soon....I almost forgot, I'm now running the tg 4" hd springs. The regulars were bottoming out on the bump stops as I would just drive down the road. It is a little bit higher, as the new pics will show, but doesn't bottom out anymore, the front end is pretty hefty with a 3.4, and a winch on the front too.

Good looking build! Looks almost EXACTLY the same as the SAS I just did to my p/u. Same kit, same tires, same gears, same lockers (mine's got a detroit front and yukon rear) hell, even the same black front passenger fender! I'd post a link to the thread... but I'm lazy. If only I had that 3.4... My 3.slow isn't long for the world at this point.
Great job. As much help as the plasma cutter was, looking back I'd have killed for a torch when doing the frame tubes!

lol, man I love this 3.4, it just costs way more when doing dual cases, but this thing runs like a champ.
I def. think that plasma and the torch each have their own strenghts.
Another thing I forgot, I put in the tg, magnum arp's, and the front range hub studs.
