That is a good looking truck. What engine and tranny do you have? Any trouble turning those tire?

Cool truck!

In the first piture, do you just have a torsion bar crank? It also looks like you went to a straight front axle setup, what did you use? Looks really good, I have a white 4x4 as well, it's really sharp !!!!!!!!!!

I don't see a driveshaft in the last picture though, getting one custom made I assume? I didn't even notice the straight front axle until Wendell pointed it out, very cool.

4.0 with auto tranny.

I made it after putting on the body lift.

I had a body lift only. Later on I blew out the drivers side cv joint and lost the whole wheel assembly(rotor and all) on the way to work. So it was time to sas it. Full width dana 44 Ford 9" with 4.56 gears. It has about 9" of lift not including the body lift. It also has a front mounted receiver hitch and an under bed storage box built in between the frame.
i'm about to swap over to coilovers in all corners. gonna run 38.5 TSLSx's. Full roll cage, spare tire carrier in bed and new bumpers.
