Kind of wanting the stiffness for actual weight in the truck, not just the ride. When I got to the shop with my new engine in the bed I had clumps of rubber on my fender....

Are those for the 04-08?
Never see anything bolt-on for the front A-arm on 04+

Yes they are. They are made by Michigan Metal Works

They even make a full front end kit which includes upper control arm relocating brackets and upper bag mounts, it's not on the site yet though, just have to email them to get it. and unlike air ride technologies, this will actually let you lay frame and keep your tires flat on the ground. All this info will eventually make it into my stickyed thread of lowering 04-08 trucks.

This guy also used their arms on his truck

Saw the website before. but didn't know there were kit not on it.
but the truck been made in the link is an 03.

humm maybe I'll start looking back in to it.

transmission crossmember isn't a big of a deal when you see how the KingRanch one is done.

Next decided rear end: wishbone, 4link-panhard, triangulated 4link.

My issue is towing capability when done...I know it can be as strong, but you need to find a very good experience welder let say.

Oh and don't worry I'm not going anywhere....
