Thanks guys! To this point it's just been manual labor, now the fun begins putting the puzzle together.

"If you have the means I highly recommend picking one up." - Farris Beuller

The only regrets I have are not going with the touring vs mild and not ordering the inner frame structure PB now offers. The reason I say that is I believe the touring ride height will be closer to the drop this truck had when I got it (5.5/7 vs 4/6) and I plan on driving this truck like a sports car so the inner structure would be nice to make the chassis more rigid. I may still order it and install it later when it comes in.

I've been thinking about it the last few days and very well may. It'll probably mean the truck won't see the summer deadline I put on myself but I also don't look forward to pulling the motor to just to replace the crossmember. Just go with the touring and I'll buy your mild at a deeply discounted rate since its "used"

Seriously though if you think you may want to go touring hit me up.

I REALLY REALLY like the new crossmember brace but couldn't bring myself to spend that much money so I went with the adjustable TA one. Its totally worth the money but I'd rather have a DM instead.

I'm going to find out if I can swap it even though I already cut the rear of the frame for the notch... We'll see what Nate says.

This is before trimming the rack to bring the toe closer to correct. I have trimmed each side a bit but I think more is needed. I'd like to get it on the ground with some weight before I trim any more.
