Nice job so far ,keep the pics coming. You said you are planning on running 63's in the rear? they sit pretty low with the weight of a runner on them and you will be squatting a decent amount with those 3'' fronts. but i guess the issue for you will be getting the rear to match the front, not the other way around. most guys end up running a block under them to help level it out, but with blocks comes extra axle wrap... I am running a 2wd set myself and love them but i sit really low on 33x10.5's https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f160...runner-238958/

Fronts done besides shock hoops and moving steering box forward 2inchs. ordered rear shocks and steering box relocating kit today and rear is completely cut out grinding tomorrow then i gotta build rear shackles.

i will not have to run blocks in the rear. im running 8-10inch custom shackles in the rear im not sure what size yet until i mock up the rear. so i get my 45degree angle for the shackle.

im not building my shackles for the rear until i get the motor in the front and my bumper on to set the size of the rear to match 100%

im also building my own front and rear brake line setup for flex so i wont bust lines ill post pictures for it soon.

Nice man, this is gonna be sexy!! Subscribed. My 4.56s and 33s are a great combo so with that 3.4 and the 37s, you'll have no problem
