I'm sure you had to cut a little off the frame where the cross member attaches bolts in to make room for the front diff to drop. That's where a lot of people can't get themselves to commit.And I'm not that gifted, tho I appreciate the compliment. You get a big book worth of directions. As long as you know "right, tighty", "lefty, loosie", you too can put in a lift. It's not like your assembling the space shuttle.
That's my problem. I know I can make the cut just fine, just something about cutting into a $50k truck myself.I'm sure you had to cut a little off the frame where the cross member attaches bolts in to make room for the front diff to drop. That's where a lot of people can't get themselves to commit.
I've cut many of frames, back in the day before manufactures were casting knuckles and drop brackets were your only option frame mods were much more involved to drop the upper a arms. The older I get, the smaller the lift. 14" with 44" swampers on my first over 20 years ago , last truck had a 5 inch and 33s, this truck 2.5 level and 305 55s and done.Think of how b-a your truck will be and that cut ain't nothing. Dealer cost on the RC lift is $913 so use that info to knock 'em down on price. Get the lift first, hoard that in a safe place in your house then get your wheels.
