3" in front and SOA in rear? Do u know that just doing SOA alone would net you approximately 5.5" lift?

Nice work on the bed and nice welds.

I did quick measurement and thought about 4-4.5" plus I figured the springs have to have a little sag in them. I hope it's not 5.5" as I would like to keep it low as possible.

Thanks! The Miller 215 is a great machine.

Anyone have experience deleting the rear brake controller thing located above the rear axle? I'm going to do GM 3/4 ton calipers with weld on brackets. Can I just cap the line to the valve thing at the master cylinder?
