When creating this update, I tried to make a cohesive narrative of events that might help others do something similar. This forum has been a huge help to me in this project. I believe in learning by doing and pictures are the closest thing to being here IMO. I'm not informed on forum culture, forgive me if this isn't the correct way to show this timeline. I figured I'd keep things in one thread due to clutter.

 

Not trying to discourage you, Zack. I love reading build threads. I’m just saying that 70 photos in one post is a bit excessive. Will there be that many every time?Might want to condense ideas a bit.

Then again, with my short attention span, I’m a Cliff’s Notes type of guy.

 

Lift blocks in the front is generally frowned upon. Also you don't have the correct u-bolts for the way you installed them. For steering the best/easiest solution would be the power box from the late 70's F250 that you got the axles from. To run large tires with minimal lift you need large radius front fenders like most of the factory 4x4 slicks had (also found on all slick F350s). Great to see your making progress though.
