Good looking truck man, Thats a nice build you got there. Jason said stock replacement shocks in the front tho. Is this going to be more of a chase style kit going by the width and travel numbers?

How not? Its got some pretty stout looking frame horns.. I'm sure you can nerf some people with that.

Jsvo5695- They look like 4" fiberwerx bedsides..

Thanks!

What Jason meant by stock replacement shock is that the coilovers bolt into the stock location. It is a long travel kit.


The rear bedsides are glassworks unlimited with 4.5in flare and 3in rise.

Questions

Are there other supports that I can't see in the original picture for the top of the shock tower? Just curious if there were or not, I can't see any and was wondering if the force from the suspension would eventually break the welds?

There are no additional supports. What you see there is it. The tubework and shock army are thick and beefy. I forgot the exact dimensions but are built and designed to take a lot of stress. Nothing will break on this bedcage
