Keep us posted, I am curious what the numbers will be. Do you feel that the brackets take away a lot of ground clearance? I was thinking the control arm would still act as a slider so to speak regardless of how far down they hang.

Note to myself: I need to nab one and use it as a daily driver.

Hey BFT, looking good, but I need to see some more pics. That one you have right after you finished your wheels is good but just a teaser. I want to see a nice side view and maybe a couple of your underside with the drop brackets. What are your plans for bumpers? Didn't you say homebrew, tube?

Ill get some more pics for ya asap. Bumpers are going to be tube. Looking into benders. Never bent tube before, so it should be interesting. When things warm up, things might get a bit drastic... hint: bobbed SUT.

This thing looks beefy. Hope to have it in soon.
how do you like the ride have same shocks thinking about FOR springs. And why the spacers (are you doing front only) is there a big stink bug problem with these springs
Great thread! Awesome rig!

Did some light wheeling this weekend. Camera died in the way out, so unfortunately no pics. After this trip I decided I want to bring my COG down a bit. Truck looks good with 5.5" in the front and 3.5" in the rear, but I feel like its unnecessary for the 37's. Just got off the phone with Frankie. Going to make some changes to the lift configuration. Details to follow.
Cant wait to hear???

I wish i had never installed my MAF spacers...waste of time. the metal tech being well metal and taller look way more worth the effort of the installation.
Need some updated photos of the whole rig. Looks like its still coming along very well. I'd still like to consider doing the F.O.R. lift but alas skrilla is tight.

MAF spacers did what they needed to. But if I could do it all over again I would have started with the metal-techs.
Plan is to remove all spacers from the front to drop it down to 3.5" Then I am going to trim the rears down to the height I want to level the truck out. I want ZERO stink bug. Right now I have 2" more lift in the front and it sits just how i like it. So I figure Ill have to take about 2" of height out of the rears to get where I want. I will probably have to trim them even more as I start to systematically remove parts/weight from the rear end, in prep for the chop and bob.
