looks real good bro, did you use any other drop components for the front? like arems, spindles,etc. will the binding happen with larger rims?

rear setup will either be a 5-link or maybe a real cantilever of some sort. Nope its all stock suspension pieces just cut and re-welded. it should lay out on a 19" wheel and tire and maybe a really small 20". Not sure yet but it will lay on the stock 205/75/14's.

hey bro, make sure the upper balljoint isn't rubbing on the bag. i know you notched the frame, but with the truck getting that much lift, you may want to just check real quick, because the upper arm is at an extreme angle there, and is possibly causing the upper balljoint to be pushing/rubbing into the bag.

just check to make sure.

i get about 1inch less lift than that, because my upper arm hits my upper bag plate gussets, and the upper ball joint comes about 1/2inch from the bag

just watching out for you

it doesn't I've been real cautious and have been watching it and the upper arm hits the bag plate and gussets before the balljoint hits the bag. I did just find out though that the truck will dogleg.

awesome

yea with that much lift, it'd be real easy to pull a standing dogleg.
