Thanks for the comments guys. I'll get some more pics of all the details here in the next few days when it gets new paint, bumpers, interior, etc. So be ready!
Who thinks I need to trim more of the front fender? I think I do....
Passenger side view....Just for reference the very rear portion of my frame is 33.5" off the ground, the bottom of the cab is 27.5" to the ground (this is sitting on cement in my shop). The front differential has 13" of clearance, haven't measured the rear yet.
Front View: Yes I know I need to add a crossmember between the drop hangers yet.

I think you're going to need to modify the rear to keep the rear matched with the front. In the pics at least to me, looks like when you add a bed and all the stuff that goes with it onto the struck, you're gonna have a rear that is just barely even if not maybe a half inch or so lower then the front. Or maybe its just the pictures?

The back is actually sitting a few inches higher than the front right now. I figured once I added the bed, and bumpers front an rear I'd see what had to be done, but I think its just the angle of the pictures.

looks tough man.....i like the look of it
like they said, just we where they rub and cut as you need
you may have to smooth the front part of the fenders like i did

Thomsen hows the school thing coming along for ya? Weather isn't cooperating the last 2 days for painting. It'll get paint on it by this weekend then I'll pretty much have the thing done. So it might be ready soon for a trip southwest
