damn, looks sick that low ha ha. did you notch the frame and everything ? after the c notch and notching out the bed rails on the bottom of the bed, it was great. used eibach springs up front with belltech shocks and i love the way it rides. i want it lower....but thats coming with airbags.

thanks for the harley bars comment. i was iffy in the beginning, but now i like it. does a good job covering up the frame

The Harley trucks have them but there is a strip of chrome on them. You could probably just PTM that as well though. I've had a set in the garage for awhile now, would like to get them on my truck eventually haha

Yea notched frame, gas tank crossmemeber, pushed the bottom edge of the back of the cab up a little, cut the bottom bed support bar over the differential. And that's just the rear

Im on 275-40-20s.
Front is 3" DJM LCA's and 1.5" Hotchkiss springs.
Rear is 3" hangers, 2" shackles, '99 Lightning leafs, and a heavy *** bed cover

Might try taking the ISO's out and see how the clearance is. Might need to do more work on the drivers frame rail to clear the tie rod sleeve. I recently put the front sway bar back in, but its not really fitting right, so ill either have to modify the LCAs or take it back out.

Nfab Harley bars but since we have side exit exhausts I don't think they'd work. I'm gonna get the Westin sport tubes
