Kris are you running any type of lift? After looking at the pic above I think I want to move the front wheel a little forward to center it more in the wheelwell anybody have opinions on this?

Hey K14 how did you lift it. What parts did you use? I can see using blocks in the back (I hate that idea) but what about the front? It looks sweet on 37's. All of these look really good and is the inspiration I was needing thanks. I will start a thread after the holidays.

I had a local spring shop set up the front. The PO did a sorta hack job when swithing in a 10 bolt. The shop added a leaf and welded on slightly taller and better spring perches. The rear just has 3/4" blocks on top of the factory blocks. I plan to have the same shop redo the rears when $ allows.

The interior is done and that is the silver the truck will be when its done. The front diff cover is handmade and the frame is also gloved and boxed.

Holy smokes that thing is gonna be way sikk. What size tires does he plan on running? I love the coilovers that is some custom work he is doing.MIne will be a little more simple I might put in a dana 44 I have in the garage for the disk brakes but other than that simple lift for now. Thanks for posting nice truck for sure.

I would say he'll need a step ladder to get in it. But, it's more like an extension ladder !!
