I didn't snap any pics of the bridge. But that is obviously done. I had to change up the upper link mounts, which actually worked out good for the geometry. The links were just about parallel, so raising the upper mounts of the axle gives me a little bit of pinion change. There isn't a whole lot of room on these trucks for anything, especially when you narrow the axle.Here's the upper bag mountClearance between the drive shaft and the upper wishboneBag deflatedAir tanks and compressors mounted and it was a little late when I took the pic.

Hey man nice build I'm on this like stink on shit! One question, going with a cab and chassis rear end not be enough for the narrowing? Not questioning your judgement, just being couriuos. My brother c&c rear end on his for his 22s, or are the 24s a little wider?

I actually used the fleetside axles in the dually housing. So the width is exactly the same as a fleet side axle. I guess I could have bought a junk yard axle, but I would have no idea how old it was. So I just pulled the axle shafts out and used them in the dually axle that I cut down to fit them.I modified and relocated the factory hitch and put it behind the license plate. We are leaving the bumper on this truck... no roll panAll the air management is done. Two Viair 480s and two 7 gallon aluminum tanks with an Accuair VU4 manifold and switch speed controller.I plumbed up a hook up for an air hose and a fill valve and mounted them behind the bumper out of site.Some reinforcement for the wishbone pivot. I also welded the factory cross member to the frame instead of relying on the rivots.

got the MMW arms on, and they went right on... perfectly!trimmed up for the bag and steering clearanceTest fit the wheel after cutting out the inner fender. The adapters don't fit over the 3/4 ton hub, so I'll have to open them up just a tad.

I have to tub the firewall, but not a whole lot. It's about 1/2" from the ground.
