Damn Dino, I love that picture of the front bumper just a gnats ass off the ground, it made me dig out my bumper and bolt it on. (very gratifying) Keep the pics coming, it really helps with the motivation.

mr lolife, after the tubs are stretched and bolted back in,I am not sure if i want to cover the watts link,with sheet metal or leave it exposed,we got the bracket built for all the air ride ,the bed has been rhino already so i will re-rhino it, hopefully by next weekend all the air ride should be in

They're on the ground because the rear isn't fully aired out...when the chassis sets flat on the ground, there's about an inch of daylight between the LCA mounts and the pavement.
