AWESOME START!!! How hard is it to raise the bed floor like you did? The work you did on the fenders turned out great also, did you do that to make the tires sink farther into the wheel well? Keep up the good work looking forward to MORE pics Michael.

Wow... alot of hard work there. Looks good.

I sectioned the fenders so that the front and rear fenders would be level.

COOL, that looks very suttle but still a big difference in the look, i think i will have to try that on my truck. How much did you lower the fender opening? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks Michael.:metal:

Thats looking awesome! I really like what you done with the front fenders. :metal:

Looks like you've done quite a bit of work. Lookin' good

what are the length of your bars on yourfour link? i want to do the same thing to mine in the rear. im really liking the front fender idea as well. keep up the good work

I don't remember exactly but I want to say about 33". I got them from Suicide Doors and I just went with what they recommended over the phone.

wow mate thats awsome, love the look with the lowered fender edge, keep us posted.. :metal:

Truck looks awesome. How much of a "Z" did you do? Can you please give more pics of the front and back suspension. I love the fender idea!

What a sweet project, and awesome attention to detail. Definitely keep us posted on it's progress.

OK, I see the front Z to lower the rad support and the front clip, and I see the kit in the back. What did you do to lower the cab to match?

The Z is 2". I don't think I have many pictures of the suspension but I will see what I can dig up tonight.

This Z lowers the front core support and the front of the fenders.

This one keeps the cab lined up with the front.

Think of it as cutting out the section where the front suspension is and raising that section up and welding it all back up. Everyting in front of and behind that stays lined up.

looks really good! what type of welder are you using for this work?

I like the fender and tailgate mods.

Are you going to pull the front end and box off again to finish the welding on the frame?

I would like to get a larger one but right now I have a Lincoln SP125 plus. Works fine for the frame work as long as I preheat the metal first.

The welding is 90% done one the frame, I just didn't have up to date photos. I do have to pull the cab to finish boxing the top of the Z like I would like. Just can't get to it with the cab on.
