What about 4 link suspension for the front and rear? Thats probably the route i would have went with, IMO.

If you need steps like that to get in the truck, you don't need it.
Jump, climb, rope ladder, Anything but those big *** steps.

Uhhh.....those arent just steps , those are brackets to hold the torsion bars which are still located in the factory position. Ive seen this truck first hand and its one of the most half azzed piles of sheet Ive ever ran across , not to mention a waste of a decent truck. It was build by a car club idiot, all he wanted was 49's on his truck. This thing is a death trap.

i'm just breakin' ***** is all. no harm intended.

your hood is done too? didn't realize it was that bad. but have you tried to at least pop it out somewhat?

but i've gotta ask, since you've redone your sig with the new wheels, why didn't you take it from the driver's side? (please don't tell me that side is bad too).

You can see how bad it was there so yea theres a lot of damage. Had 3 people try to pop it out and no one can do it.

And the driver side fender is black primer, waiting till I get all the parts to color match em.

I don't think it failed. The last update was that his shop was getting very busy, which takes priority over this project. I guess thats a good thing though. Can't complain about having a lot of business.
