Steering box and flat pitman arm are installed. Again, we frenched the box into the frame to allow clearance for the arm to swing and clear the castle nut on the tierod.
Then we started mocking up the custom front bumper.
On a side note, I realized last week that TG has sent me the wrong front springs. They sent me 5" front springs, so they shipped me out the correct ones. Needless to say this lowered the frame height even more. Right now we are sitting at 24-3/8" on 285/70/17s. Keep in mind that is with brand new springs and it should settle an inch or so.

Well, it left the shop today.
We installed a new grill, headlights, and marker lights before it left him.
It looks tiny on 33s, but adequate for what he wanted. 35s will be next on his list.
