I have yet to order them. Part of not getting lower adjustables is cost. Plus this will be the last lift I do. I'm getting Rusty's fixed lowers. They will be custom made to the lift I'll be running.

I know my current lower control arms are shot. The bushings move in the arms. So they have to be replaced.

I will be getting Rough Country's new double shear track bar and mount..

Parts ordered this morning:
Rusty's; HD Tie Rod (just the part from the drag link to driver wheel), Disco's, Fixed Lower CA's
Rough Country; HD Double shear adjustable track bar with bracket.

I already have (thanks to MedicJayCook) my lift shackles and 1" budget puck.

So with any luck later next we I can start my steering up grade, 1"BB on top of my 3"RC lift and steering box replacement.

All this was started in motion due to bending my tie rod, and steering box puking out on my. Figured I'll need a new alignment any how why not go up another inch in height. This will put me at 4" of lift. Right where I where I want to be.

[QUOTE=nick_n_ii;222699]About time again for some update pics.

First is a bit of front trimming and rear lip rolled.


What does rear lip rolled mean?

On the rear cause of where the pinch seam is you cut 1" slots up into it and roll it under. Makes it clean and keeps your rear quarters from leaking or coming apart..

I can't se how they call them a AT. The tread is just sweet.
