    Thanks guys, It's been a lot of work, Burnzya you know for sure. It wasn't even a frame up or a body drop.
    I couldn't stop giggling when we first put it on the ground.

    Yota4life, the front frame is Z'd in front of and behind the front suspension and steering linkage. I will get some more pics in the next day or so and include the Z there.

    4 link no. Tank yes. I really could have moved the tank up another inch (or more if I cut the bed), but I can move it later fairly easily if I need to. I didn't see the need for it seeing as I don't plan to drag it.
    On that note, I did shape and weld on a 1/4" plate to the tank for extra protection.
    Alright, I gotta get outside and get the bed on.

    Well, things haven't gone as planned. Sorry about that. I haven't yet installed the bed and I've run into a few issues.
    The pressure switch has been unreliable, guess where it was made.... Got the new one installed and it works perfectly.
    I have ditched the relay that the Air Zenith came with. I've had two fail in as many weeks, so I swapped it out for a Ford starter solenoid.
    Has anyone else had issues with the 40 amp relays?

    Got the bed on finally, with the help of Sam Adams and a few of his (and my) friends.

    Just a few more details to take care of, making permanant mounts for the power steering can, inner fenders and tubs, and paint touch up....

    I am surprised that the rears tuck. They do rub however, so no low driving for now.

    i have a question...ur control arms do they rub the steering shaft? or they clear? because i have stocks and they rub alot and was thinking of getting the candos jus so i dnt have to worry about clearance.

    Nope, no rubbing what so ever. Is your frame z'd? I'd be interested in seeing a pic of that area on yours. I'm not sure that even the stockers would rub on mine.
