This may look like a lot of progress but lots more to do - but the axle is under the truck. Finally.

Now I only need....new ujoints for the front DS, extend the DS about 2", brake line mounts/tabs welded in, shock mounts on the axle, shocks (F & R), soft brake line from the axle up to the master cylinder "area", shorten the drag link, taper the pitman arm, put the MTRs on, etc, etc, etc.... But hey, I'm gettin' there.

As it sits, it's at ride height (add another 1.5" for the 33's when installed too). Even though the front axle is on jackstands, the tires are maybe a quarter inch off the floor. The weight of the truck is on the axle. This thing is gonna be TALL.

I met a guy today as well that might be able to make me a full cage too. I don't trust the factory "show bar"...
