Truck looks great Rex. Did you have to extend your engine harness to put the computer in the cab?

Thanks buddy! No I did not have to extend the harness, I was able to mount the computer on the brake support bracket and the harness would reach from there.

Your truck looks great! Any chance your going to the Branson cruise in August? I'd love to see your truck. I'll have my truck(not in the same league as yours) there barring a catastrophy.

After some driving I am banging the frame quite a bit on the axle. Either gonna have to switch from a 2" to a 1" lowering block or c-notch the old girl.

What are your lowering specs? how much lower than stock are you in front and back?

4.5" (2.5" drop spindles, 2" drop springs) in the front, 6" (2" lowering blocks, 4" drop springs) out back. Every thing I read said I would be okay with a 6 drop out back but my frame is only about 1 1/2" off the axle and it don't take much to get them together.

Sounds like even if you switched to a 1" drop block, you will have only 2 1/2" of clearance so I would put in a notch. Check out porterbuilts 2 piece notch. Really quality piece and much nicer then the other notches on the market.
