pictures speak louder the words....
what are the specs of the truck is it bone stock?
plans for use?
is it a street queen? (no offense)
all the trucks that we build are set for off road in mind.
a 6 inch bl isnt gonna help out in any way shape or form.
i myself would have lifted the truck a few inch's over a 6 inch body lift to gain the extra space needed,a body lift at 6 inch's is gonna sway alot .
after a few weeks of driving it around id like to see what the mount locations in the floor are gonna look like, whats the hood clearance like, did you use the stock mounts from the ome617 or make custom ones if so why not push the motor up, over a body lift?

You have misunderstood what I typed.
There was no lifting of anything, no suspension or body lifting, nothing!
The custom pan and sump cured the clearance issues with the front end.
We just want it to be a daily driven SUV. No muddin here!
Hood clearance is about 3 inches.
We used the stock Mercedes Benz mounts. But installed new mounting plates to the frame. This way the trans is in the stock location and gives the best alligment of the driveshafts. Pictures coming soon.

did you ever find out if you guys would be offering the parts seperately? i am still interested in buying just the pilot bushing addapter. i found a motor for free and have the truck to put it in but have not had the time to measure up to get a machine shop to build the bushing.

Do we have a phone number that we can reach this place at? I've emailed and PM'ed them to no avail, have a couple of questions before I drop almost a grand into this kit. I know a few other fellow toy owners that would probably be very interested too.
