Default prerunner in the works!

ok guys, so my dream truck is now finally in the works! ive been waiting for about two years get this thing done. here is what im doing....
- fugitive fabrications chevy long travel front end kit.
-up front i will have 10in king coilovers, king triple bypasses, and a king air bump at each corner.
- the lower a-arm is a tig welded boxed arm
- upper a-arm is a solid piece of billet aluminum.
- the spindle is also fully boxed, tig welded with 1 1/2 in heims. no more ball joints!
- everything is tied togetger with a 4130 chromoly engine cage which ties into the shock hoop.
-front suspension will be limited to 21 in of travel.

the truck will be about five inches wider per side in the front, with a 5 in bulge fiberglass fender. i know how all of you guys are about off road 2wd trucks, but mine will be the exception. i should have the truck back by this saturday and i will post pics as soon as i can. if you guys wanna see what the kit looks like check out www.fugitivefab.com and tell me what you think.

i was just going to do deavers and bypasses out back, but since im going all out in the front i better not half *** the rear. im going to do a 4 link out back, gusset the rear end, and have a coilover and a triple bypass on each side. it will be a couple months till im ready to that though cause its about another 6 grand.
