Well, finally got the garage door open and decided to get her outside and do a hard core clean up on the shop before I go any further on the truck. Also washed up the truck and got rid of all the dust and build up over the past 6 months or so. Once I stood back and looked at her, I think I will just be leveling it out with a bit of lift in the front and move the axle forward 1-1.5" so that I don't have any rubbing issue. Right now at full turn it is so close I don't think you could shove a pencil between the cutouts and the rear of the tire. Clears the springs fine though....which don't really matter considering I have another 32" perch D60 waiting in the wings to be installed. So that clearance is not an issue what so ever...and even if it was, I'd just 4 link the SOB! lol...

..hope to see a paint booth in and around a weeks time. We'll see how things go.
