I have had that account for years. Its just since i started this build I have actually been posting pix up so it went over the bandwidth limit. Thanks for the comment Jake. I wont have any new pix up to near the end of the week. I have to work on the house and garage getting some new foam insulation put in.

Thanks FTA. I would recommend to do a smaller transmission cross brace, or a bigg exhaust cutout. It will give you more room for exhaust. I only say that because I had to make a step up in the floor board to accommodate for the exhaust clearance. we got a little bit more work done on it, but I have yet to get pictures up. I will also get the pix up of the new upper bag mount setup for the rear. Sunday I have to leave to head off to work, so it probably wont be till the end of march before any new pictures start showing up on the build.

I do have pix of the rear lifted but i was trying not to post them cause of the haters. I ended up redoing the way it connects to the bag plate, and put a pivot to help with the angle it was putting on the bag. Although it was no worse then the front of a Nissan I did not want my name on it. I will post up a pic to show you what it would of been like without the pivot at max lift.
With the pivot on there it gives the truck a tun more lift also helps with the bad bag angle. Though before you open your mouth and criticize look at some of the magazine trucks or builds with a very similar setup and look at the laid out bag angle and the lifted angle.It could have been corrected by changing the lower bag bracket angle, but honestly I was not thinking that far ahead. So now there is a pivot on the end of the bar, to the bag plate. Pix will be up much later.
That was not directed toward anybody but I would rather say it now then have a stupid argument later. because people don't read the post.

Ya my concern was the serious bag angle, I have seen worse, and I am not the type to hate on anybodys work, I would of just suggested to fix the issue before the truck got farther along. Most guys on here are like me and just wanna help not hate. It is a very different and cool set-up so I give you props, everybody that sees my shock set-up questions how it works, some hate on it and some think its sick. I take constructive critisism and learn from my mistakes just like everybody else. I like to see people being creative and innovative thats what i think is great about where our hobbie/sport is going

Thanks for all the comments.
If i would of had about a week more home i could of got it far enough for Nate to take it and get the exhaust run and him to paint the frame and underside of cab. I should be able to finish it up in a little less then a week. Then its time to work on the bed. and run all the air line, brake line, and electrical. Like I said, I will get a few more pictures up before I leave tomorrow, of the new pivot and the mounted up brake booster ect.

I made sure to shoot some pix of the new pivot setup for you guys that were wondering. The pix pretty much just shows the max lift capability.
