i'm prob missing something,  but just out of curiosity, if the frame will be up off the ground like you said, wont that affect the total amount of lift you get with the truck since it will be on the ground, but the frame is not?  Seems like it would take a few inchs out of the lift? build looks phenomenal tho

This is one bad build!!! 1 question...Whay did you keep part of the old frame?I often see that, is it that much harder to do the extra 15% of the frame?

I didnt notice the kick up in the rear. i thought it was all flat front to back.  so when the fuel cell question came up, i thought the whole frame was gonna be mounted to where it layed just body and not frame, which would take away some of the travel.  My bad, keep up the great work
