Ok guys i went by the shop to pick up some parts im selling. They had the front disasembled but had to put it back together since we decided to do the 4 link. (the rear has to be done first) So not the rear is sitting on jack stands at about ride heigth (2" lower) and thats without tires.

Im still waiting on parts so not much is going on untill tomorrow or friday when the axles get there.

The steering is coming off the stock box for now then ill upgrade that later.

The t-case will most likely be indexed down to help on pinion angles.

FOR THE PRICE:

Im doing this as a semi budget build, my budget is flexible to allow for PROPER setup.

Im not getting a bunch of NEW parts im making deals and buying used parts.

My goal is to have the truck ROAD WORTHY (SAFE) for 4k thats including EVERYTHING but that number can go up if need be.

Im gonna be running fabtech shocks, skyjacker front coils, 13" Superduty leaf springs for the rear.

Now later down the road im gonna swap out the front shocks and springs for FOA coilovers and the rear for FOA resevoir shocks.

We really didnt start ripping everything apart yet just unbolted the old stuff. we wanted to keep it able to move easily if needed. When theres pictures worth taking ill get some. Ill probably be back over there friday or so.

these types of projects can go over 20k worth of stuff, ive seen it happen.
