Well I guess I can update this thread alil
So life has been a very up and down roller coaster for these past couple months. So the cab cage has been put on hold. I made a very big decision due to the fact that I went through 5 wheel hubs in 2.5 months. So here is the new spindle.
Specs:
D44 Snout
1/4" chromoly plate
96 F150 Hubs and rotors.
GM Brake calipers and pads. It is in the laser cut process at the moment. So I do have the CAD design of it. It will also make it 1.5" wider per side.

With the new lug patter comes with new rims so I bought these 5 procomp rims for 300 bucks:

I also gathered a set of tires: 35" BFG Short Course Tires for 300 bucks

And since I will co-driving in my buddies race yota I did pick up a helmet as well which is wired and plumbed for parker pumpers and intercoms for 80 bucks

I have also gathered 2 front lights to go on the front bumper once the time comes as well as two more rear lights to mount on my cage for extra break lights. No pictures of these at the moment. But I will post pictures once the spindles are completely done and on the truck!!!

had the front coilovers rebuilt. they were hydrolocked but replaced all seals and now it rides even better with functional shocks! I also ditched the zipties to the frame and went and got some hose clamps and resi mounts
