Are you using the factory high hump trans cover?

It's the low hump but I will also need a new rear cross member. When I lift the transmission to the -3 degrees the drive shaft will hit the rear cross memeber. Is there away to lower the engine instead? Thanks

Did u have to notch the frame to run the AC lines?

I did not need to notch the frame for the ac line . I used factory 5.3 ac lines. I had one line cut and welded to get a better angle.

Ok, tell me I'm not losing my mind, your sig says you live in Vegas, but I would swear I just saw this truck northbound on 291 in Independence about a half hour ago? I was going the other way and the nearest place to turn around was 1/4 mile away, so I couldn't just turn around....

So 8 months later, I saw the truck again at a local cruise in. Not totally loosing my mind, going down the road this truck looks identical to yours.....
