personal preference...in my case, i pulled the trans from under neath, and the motor lifts straight up...plenty of room either way.

Well a lot of people will tell you that you are creating more work for yourself. However it takes an hour to pull the core support off and for me it was a ton easier having it removed. Less chance of tearing up your hood or anything else.

I got the new inner rocker support welded in and grinded down. I was fresh out of primer so I did some fitting on the rocker panel. I think I finally have it where I want it. I will pick up primer this week and post some more pics.

I got the inner rocker all primed and got the rocker installed and primed up. Working on the cab corner now. Next will be passenger side.

Ok after lots of fitting and grinding I finally got the cab corner lined up the way I wanted. I got it all tacked up and will finish it out tomorrow.

Got my new lights and lowering shackles.
