Thanks for all the props guys, it really means a lot!!!

454,

You hit the nail on the head with your first question and answer, LOL

As for the tires and the bars, these a good 2-2.5 inch from the corner of the tire and the bar (lots

). The tire are BFG's 285/75/16. There is at least 2.5 inches or more from the tire to the bag.

The steering link goes under the bag by about an inch or so (again plenty of room) and can't get any closer, no mater what the suspension does.

I'm really happy with the way the front shocks came out they where really easy and fit well. All I did was cut the old mount off the back of the axle, shortened them up so they where closer to the axle and rolled them around to the front and welded them back on upside down. Then, I fab the upper mounts out of the old shackle straps from the leafs. It does look like there would be room to do a crossover steering mod if a guy wanted to. I don't think my dad will do any hardcore off roading with this, so we probable won't be doing it.

Oh and the front drive shaft and transfercase are still in the truck and the slip yoke only moves about a 1/2 inch or so from siting on the stops to all the way up, so no issues there.
