Will it leak when it rains or wash it with the drip rails gone ? Nice work though . It does look good . They also make air bag brackets for the front I-beams for another 3 or so inch drop , if you notch the crossmember you can drop it more , there is a guy who did this on here . It was a triple bellow airbag with stock upper spring cups , so only need bottom air brackets and bags . Look in my gallery and a pic of the brackets . $65 for them . I plan on baggin the front only with this kit . Good work .

Good question about it leaking..Not sure, but ill let you know when I get the door back on. I dont think it will, but we will see. The truck wont be outside much, so I am not to worried about it. I will be bagging the truck in the near future and airbagit.com has the brackets for the front. Ill be doing a four link out back with a mini c notch, so it should sit the way I want. Thanks for thoughts, ill keep the pictures coming.

Looks awesome so far. Should be really nice when finished. I have the Boss 335s on my F150 for 5x5.5. Why are you shaving the gas door?

Gas door is being shaved just to give the truck a smooth look. I have relocated it to inside of the bed. I think it will look pretty good once I get paint on it. This weekend I am going to finish up welding on the bed, then start smoothing out the dash. Ill try to get some pictures posted soon.

Pulled the dash out, cut out the ash tray and lighter, then began welding in a new panel..This is just the start of what will happen to the dash.

Did a little work this afternoon. I got the vent holes filled and roughed in and the panel cut to cover where the guages use to be. The panel for the guages is not welded in yet, it is just sitting there. I will weld it in tomorrow.

After looking at it, I am thinking about going completely smooth on the passenger side, and doing away with the glove box. Any thoughts?

Again, it is just roughed in a the moment, but you get the point.
