Thank you very much. I have been seriously looking at the JD Squared model 3. I'm wanting to do some frame bracing on my truck and I was thinking about a 1 1/2" set of dies. I really enjoy seeing projects like yours to inspire and motivate me. Thanks again for sharing.

Almost finished with the back half of this step notch. It's been hours of welding, but I'm proud to say it is perfectly square, level and plumb.

Looks great. What's the hole at the corner behind axle area for? Is that going to have a cross member thru it?

I'm hoping to run an aftermarket anti sway bar through it. Something like this. I'd really like to have this truck look good with the air ride and perform well in all around drivability.

You may have to search around for the proper width you are looking for but ebay is a good start.

Looking good, are you going to use a 4.6 or a 5.0 mod motor?
