Thanks man! Yea, -12mm, rubs like a mofo on the driver wheel well lol. I'm debating on what to do about it…might try a zip tie, I was gonna trim, but it won't be enough. I think I'll get an adjustable trac bar and center the axle, then trim how much I need, so I don't cut half of it out, then only need 1/4th cut with the axle centered lol.
Trac bar or trac bar bracket is the question now. If anyone has any insight, that'd be appreciated.
Future plans are carli coils and possibly a 1" spacer at most, if that will change anything. I kinda like the height now.

Ziptie. Ask me how how I know. Just pull the liner back.

you dont want to just do an adjustable track bar because the angle will still be off. a drop track bar mount is a better choice. did you do radius drop mounts as well? if not-the bump steer/road feel may get pretty bad.

Raceline renegades, closest I could get to weld Cheyennes lol, and for a pretty good price.
No, just a spacer.
What all do I "need" to get it perfect?

Trevor "NotStock" is your man for that question. obviously budget comes into play. from experience, i did just spacers first and the shifted axle and terrible bump steer prodded me to get radius arm drop brackets and a drop track bar bracket. then i got it aligned and it needed a ton of caster. it drives pretty well now.
someone on here probably sells the rough country 3" kit minus the springs and that will be the cheapest way imo.
lots of guys will suggest more expensive options that are probably nicer but not so nice on the wallet LOL

the springs aren't really what i was getting at, more just the amount of lift if you know what i mean.

Well yea, you got 18x10s. They're gonna rub. Lol. I'm assuming my 18x9s are gonna rub with 305s. And I don't even remember the offset.

My 18x10s didn't rub. But I didn't do 35s like a homo.

I came " " this close to buying those from you, but at the time, the plan was either Toyo MTs or trail graps for my 18s or even better, the same on factory 20s, because I was thinking of doing 20x10 fuel Kranks. But I'm digging this setup.
This pic makes me ponder doing a roll pan…anyone have pics of a 2 tone truck with chrome chit on it, and a roll pan? Since I'm not gonna do away with the chrome bumper up front, and I got dem shiny rimz, I'm curious as to how the ass will look with the ptm pan. Might look better with a HD grill too…

Not much going on. Boss is letting me borrow an 03 this coming weekend, gonna swap turbos. Ordered new ic boots pink hot side blue cold side and a metal cold side pipe from riff raff.
Any turbo install tips will be much appreciated.

On the 6.0 its pretty straight forward. Move the alternator out of your way and that makes it even easier.
