I wish I had the money to pay someone else to do it
It's been a fun project though, I have a buddy helping me out who has done a couple of these, so it's not too bad.

I want to eventually do something different, but for now just pulled it to make things easier (don't wanna grind and weld near that thing).

oh yeah, are you running dual cases? Mine is almost complete I just have front driveshaft issues under extreme flex since i'm not running dual cases. It binds up under flex (new longer shaft was installed as well). Scott ordered other ujoints and what not and we are hoping that will fix the issue.

There are many things I would like to do, ones that would make sense doing right now while its all apart, but all that just costs more $$$ and adds up fast. Gotta draw the line somewhere for now.

Yep i see your point, but as long as the gas cap is on and all your lines dont leak you basically 100% safe.

threw the tires up for some more stability (and was anxious to see how it looks!)
and here is a pic of the shackle angle some were asking for, keep in mind the springs are new, and the truck is angled back so the full weight is not on the front as it would normally be, so hopefully will get a bit more out of it once the springs settle. And once I get a bumper and winch (someday) up there it will help as well.
This is with the front hanger welded completely flush with the front of the frame (no offset)

looking sexy hot stuff.
it sits a lot taller then I thought it would, granted the springs still have to settle in.
Dare I ask what justin's old beast of a bumper is doing in front of your truck?

That looks great!
I wonder how much it will come down with the bumper and winch?
I have the same set up but with a v6 so I'm sure thats like your truck with a winch and bumper.
