Well it was a fun-filled weekend with a buddy, two trucks and some tools( not other friends) a welder and grinder. We have been talking about building these but finally did something about it!
My truck

Nonnie's truck

Just grindin!



ok so we cut our own tabs!







The front mount bracket!

So i haven't actually tested them yet but the truck rides a lil stiffer and feels more stable on the interstate! I hopefully will get a chance this weekend but if not i will be in hattiesburg, MS on the 23 of November to try em'!

he works for a company that deals with large transformers and he is always traveling! He has been all over the U.S.! Seems like a pretty cool job though!

ok, enough talkin bout me....
work sucks, but it pays the bills to get toys.

His are kinda different they way it mounts on the front leaf spring bracket since he has the front relocation bracket.

Mine is goin to have tabs welded to the frame. and longer tabs off the axle plates, along with longer bars.

It was fun building that stuff, got plenty of burns/cuts/scrapes/ missing skin.. you know, the usualy stuff.
