Summore pics (from Sat.)

Fabbing up the mounts and stuff...

We threw the idea around a lot of going sprung under in the front.. it would make it so the truck sat lower, but, it was going to be hard to keep the diff from rubbing on the bottom of the motor! We would have had to make some big bumpstops, and would have had to limit the flex. Oh well... We went with sprung over.

Those parts ARE available. It's the 2 inch suspension lift that isn't anymore...

Zig is in line first for THESE tho...

EDIT: Apparently Zig doesn't need them... so, anyone interested, drop me a PM, post here, or IM me at GalvinLuv on AIM and Wishous on Yahoo.

Heather is about 5'5".  (I think)

But the best way to get a feel for it's height is that the frame is 24" from the ground and the front wheel well opening is 49" from the ground.  (stock is ~31" I believe).

Additional lift comes from the 3" body lift, and since they are 33" tires it becomes about a 3" tire lift.  So we are figuring that it will be about a 12" suspension lift.

It should settle ~2-3 inches lower then what is pictured *cross fingers* when it's all said and done.

(Currently fabricating spring over steering by using modified Mercedes 400 series arms, fab'ing up bump stops, and reinforcing the frame)

Hopefully by the end of this next weekend, we'll have it on the ground and rolling.

Heather, you says this:

We would have had to make some big bumpstops, and would have had to limit the flex. Oh well... We went with sprung over.

Just remove the body-lift!!!

You have enough suspension!
