Its just a u bolt plate i had diybeadlocks.com cut for me. Which they did a horrible job on. That was the second plate they sent me and i still had to drill out the holes larger to fit correctly. Would be easy to make with the right tools though. Yeah i placed it over the factory one to gain an extra inch.

Yeah ive got a tad bit more trimmign on the rear of the front fenders. When i cut them i came straight down and i need to give it some slant. I will be test flexing more than likely this weekend and will be able to hit an rti ramp up next weekend.

A lil update. Ive been driving it all day and i must say it rides and corners better lifted than it ever did stock. Stock i use to get alot of body roll to the point i would put my arm against the passenger seat. Thats all long gone. So far im loving it. Parked it at work in the front and multiple passer bys have stopped to look at it

Its also not as bad with the 3.55 gears as i was expecting it to be with how much people down it on these forums. I think people dont realize the speedo is so much off they think its a dog. I ran down a friends full size chevy getting on the interstate today with ease.
