The cladding doesn't really hang down that much, not enough to "cover" the frame I looked into it, it just makes the truck appear lower, because the lower piece is more of a 90* from the bottom of the rocker, compared to a slant upwards like the stock. But it would look pretty sweet.

a 2500 hd has a larger frame so it hangs down further. so i doubt the cladding would completely cover it.
anywho looks good man , keep the pictures coming.

Oddly enough I agree about the cladding. I'm not one for adding weight or even ground effects, but It would like bad *** with the SS cladding and HD badges made in the same font as the SS. Leave off the 2500 part and just do the HD letters. Wait, I don't need to think of another project for him. lol. I haven't driven to Cali yet other than just past the boarder, I'd help if I can Grippy. How far are you from the boarder?
thanks bro, yours is better though
I think the body mounts themselves are higher, not the rubber bushings.....can you take a pic of yours so I can compare? still would have the bed to deal with.....thoughts?

got tired of not having an easy way to drain the fluid in the coolant system, adding a petcock on the lower radiator hose(comes with a nice Eaton drain valve):
supplies for the new fuel system:
new test tensioner pulley for the HD tensioner.
