This is going to be awesome even though it looks pretty funny right now on the rollers.

 

I wouldn't make it 3 miles in this state without getting pulled over in a truck lifted that much! And forget about getting an inspection sticker ...

I remember back in my high school days, if anyone drove any sort of 4x4, the cops would bring out the tape measure ... and tell us they were going to fine you by the inch. MA just makes the laws up as they go ....

Lucky you live in a FREE state.

If you ever find yourself driving that up here in the northeast, you'd also have to watch for low bridges too ...

Nice job!!

 

Leave it like it is and drive around the inner city

 

Keep the gasser look and bring the exhaust out thru the wheelwells.

 

Yeah I'm excited now and have a drive to get it finished up!


I have state inspections to worry about here as well but it helps to know someone at the inspection station VA is far from free unfortunately I have to pay a personal property tax on all of my vehicles every year and its based on whatever the state decides the vehicle should be worth!!



I should head down to SE DC and see how long before I get scared enough to leave lol!! I can't carry my 45 (legally) there so it probably wouldn't take long with all the looks I would get!


HAHA right maybe when I do my motor swap next winter Ill have to mock that up just because!

 

Got my tires mounted this am and threw them on the front. I also figured out why I had a bit of a hard time getting my leafs attached to the hangers yesterday. I had attributed it to them being tighten to the axle and having a wierd angle or something but when I put the 37s on it I could see that the driver side looks perfect and the passenger side was way to far forward. I looked at the springs and I have them on in different directions doh! Thats alright as soon as the rain stops I will have to take them out anyway to finish burning everything in so I will swap the pass side around then.
You can see its forward of center a bit.


And here is the driver side back a bit more and looks much better.

And here is the driver side fender measurement as of right now

Now if the rain will stop I will get the rear under there and make sure everything looks good and get it welded up!

 

That is going to be really tall, too tall for my liking. Did you put any thought into going spring under?

 

No I didn't. It is a bit tall but I'm hoping that once the rear is done and everything is put back together and it settles out a bit it won't look so tall. I have noticed that a lot of the builds I have looked at seem really tall and disproportionate until the front bumper is put back on. I may end up playing with the springs a bit to if it stays so tall looking once finished. I am thinking of going with a newer bumper for the time being to just until I get around to building a new one so that it will take up some space and have a valance on it. I am thinking something like Diata's style.

 

Cool, keep up the good work!

 

Looks really good with the 38's on there, but dang that's tall! Good think you're tall too.
