Thanks, no receiver for this one. Keeping it real simple. I have a truck for yard waste and such, and won't be pulling any trailers with this runner.

Truck has been great. I finally got around to beefing up the rear spring pack. Added a random leaf to each side. Got 2" lift, so basically a tad bit over stock.

So, I cut out the IFS and hung an FJ60 axle up front. It's got a Detroit locker and 4.88 gears. I kept it sprung under, basically giving only 1" of lift. The flex is way better than IFS, and stronger, and cooler, haha.

Looking great. On your front bumper is it mounted using just the factory bolt on spots? Looks great. Just a idea, if you wanna move your front signal lights, I did the LED swap to mine, mounts them in the corner light buckets using 3/4" LEDs from oreilys.

I've been slow to work on this. Other builds, plus, it's safely parked inside, so no rush. I'll keep at it soon. Also, all my local trails are closed from floods last year, so I have to drive a long way to wheel.
