Well.. decided to go with a taller set of coilovers.. I was going to use a spacer kit with the current one but then made the decision to go with some 7-10 inch adjustables.. can’t win’em all.

Aaaand they’re here, disassembled 30 min later and the coils are packed back up and ready to be shipped to the powder coaters in the morning.

Also got the centerpieces of the floating caps polished and sent off to powder too.

Got the custom 3 layer LED Cutting Edge Off-road Grille in today.. still I have to wire a switch in but super juiced how much it changed look at the front end! Picture is crap, truck is dirty as hell, still have the rags sitting on my LCA’s because Iput my chrome swaybar in today I still have to polish therisers but I’m still pretty juiced how well this grille came out.

Coils are back! Hopefully have it together this weekend!

A little more of the grille after I got the final layer back from chrome, definitely a one off. Polished all the fasteners, got the LEDs installed, assembled and installed it. Now just have to run power to it!

Gave her her first bath 3 months and took my girl out for a ride/shake down run of the new setup. The ride is SO much smoother now!

This is the the premium McGaughys kit my friend, with a lot of extras. The aluminum face plate does not come with it but I needed it to match the custom face places I made for the torsion struts and traction bars.

So u can make one for our cross members? @dieselfan1 Wonder if anybody has done that for the basic mcgaughy lift

If I did that I'd use Stainless steel. Salt don't like chrome in Minnesota. Cali and Texas you guys have it easy.
Here's what I did Frankie.
I cut a piece of scrap stainless steel and glued it in with some clear silicone, just to add a little something. I might do the rest of the cutouts not sure.
