I want to lay body with this truck, without doing a body drop. So the suspension has to be a little over the top

The rear setup looks killer . Hopefully you measured twice and cut once otherwise you will be looking for a styleside bed instead of a differant flareside fender

Thanks guys,
So today I hacked up the front axle to to get the truck two inches lower. I also cut out some motor mounts out so I don't have to fab up the front suspension with the engine on jack stands. I'll post more pics tomorrow.

I guess i should have mentioned it before, yes i am fortunate enough to have a tracker CNC that can cut any metal from 24GA to 1". if i need anything cut out of non metallic material, my neighbor has a bad ass water jet that can cut through 6" thick steel or glass, wood, plastic, anything now that i think about it.
