[QUOTE=ag1972;4679302]Since the last update I have cut holes in the trailing arm xmember for the exhaust. Drop in the back is from 5in springs and ece shock kit. Front drop is ece spindles and one round cut out.

I love this build thread and have several questions.
1. Where did you buy your sheetmetal from? I heard the brand you bought is of a very good quality and the aftermarket sheetmetal they sell here are crap.

2. What did you use to make those nice circular cuts in the crossmember for the exhaust? I have my truck lowered 4/6 and need to do this to my crossmember but haven't since all I have is a plasma cutter and I want my crossmember to look as nice as yours.

I bought all of my metal from Daves Truck parts in Claremont, NC. I just used a regular hole saw on a slow speed drill on the holes. I'd love to have a plasma! haha

I do have the pulleys and alt on now though. I also have my wheels now, 5x5 steels, 6's in the front and 8's in the back.
