Will do....
15s ?!?! haha. Won't fit over the later front and suv rear brakes.
Currently planning a Holley Hi Ram and matching throttle body. Need to figure out the bits for fitting my stock fuel lines. Hopefully the racetronix drop in pump will be enough or I will be picking the bed back up.
Driving it to-from work for a couple days to tweak ride height and work out any kinks before the alignment.
It's pretty cool having it at this height, going to be a fun truck.

Ok so I lied....
Made a couple calls yesterday and found a shop that didn't sound scared to do the alignment. Got a wild hair today and dropped if off. They got it pretty close to spec. I actually did the upper arms and the offset bushings. If I take out the bushings I think it will align to spec.
Not sure I will bother unless I get really bored.

Got back underneath and retorqued everything after driving it a bit. In hindsight I wouldnt have spent ANY money with DJM for the rear of this truck. The brackets are a pain. The ubolts were ****. The C Notch was cheesy and just wouldn't have worked on my frame. The shocks and shock extension also fit like crap so I will be replacing them soon.
Kind of in a holding pattern. Need to get my intake and injectors ordered.
Been looking at wheels and tires. I have a slight rub up front on a hard dip. Thinking I'm going 20s. I think 22s would look killer but since I'm going to drive this daily I want a little more sidewall.
Sent an email to Denny's driveshaft so will need to wedge my fat *** under there and get things measured for that as well.
Good news is the kid started college now so its not a big deal if the truck is torn apart for a bit to get these things done.

No huge developments.. I got my AF gauge mounted but no reason to wire it up yet. This surround is actually kind of nice.
I did get wheels picked out, went with 20's. I would have liked to order them with tires mounted but not sure what will clear.
I also decided to splurge on a hood.
Will order the intake probably tomorrow...

Ok so the hood was a bust. They sent me the wrong hood. Looked like it was for a ford super duty. I did get my money back after I sent them proof the hood was destroyed. The quality was horrible. I would not recommend a duraflex hood. Yesterday I did manage to get the front diff swapped out to the 4:10 unit. So at least I am 4wd again. Also replaced the fog lamps that the kid broke when I let her drive it.

UPDATE...
I am heavily medicated typing this so try to keep up.
Been busy trying to buy the family business. Doing a crap ton of work on the building and trying to get it all official by the first. Progress has been slow but at least there is progress!
Keep in mind I am working alone and with only one good arm.
The new motor is in!
Working on getting the headers installed...Almost forgot to weld in the bung for the wideband.
Bought a ORY to get me thru break in. Plan on a full 3in duals with spintechs and a cross over. Might wait till winter is over.
Bought a 240 amp alternator but not sure I will get it fit with the connector on the fuel rail. Any advice here would be great!
I think I have all the fittings to mount the FPR but havent decided on if I want to bracket it off the intake or firewall mount it.
Went with an LS6 valley pan and have a catch can on the way. My parts list is getting shorter and shorter.
More pics to come!

Sweet build. Couple of question's sorry if I missed them in previous reply... Whats the total drop front and rear. I just purchaced the 3/5 front and 4/7 rear adjustable from MCG. Kinda want to judge it to your truck. Second question is.... When are you gonna take those dang mud flaps off the front?
