Hello everyone! It has been a year since my last post but I have some big updates...

I decided to go all in and take this truck down to the frame rails:

I went with Scott's SuperSlam IFS:

Before putting in the cross member I squared and boxed the whole front end:

I measured out the stock center line and decided to move the centerline forward just over 1.5":

The install went really smooth, the hardest and most time consuming part was blasting out all the damn stock cross member rivets

I got the adjustable Ride Tech / Fox shocks as well:

Cab Back on and ready to place the 6.0 LS:

This MIGHT be low enough...
