She's got about 100 miles on the new suspension. I am shocked how smooth it rides. 38s ride great definitely going to go up in size in the future but for now they are fine. Just gotta finish up a few little things like painting the wheels and putting my lights bar back on. I absolutely love it and it is not at all difficult to drive.

Still a little nose high, I am going to give it a little more time to settle before I with the rear a little more to level it out. I am still thinking that it is going to settle out perfect.

What do you think?

That's all custom fabrication that he did. There's 3 or 4 of his build threads on here somewhere

Are you going to put in a t case, front drive shaft and make the 4x4 work or is this just for looks? This was a 2 wheel drive right?

first thing i noticed to was no front shaft. Figured cuase it would be at a crazy angle. Good looking rig though either way

Thank you guys, yeah it's been a project I wish I had done it this way from the start. I knew in the back of my mind it would end up this way, should have just done it.

But anyways it drives smooth with no bump steer, the rear is a little stiff but I will see what I wanna do there as it settles. I have ridden in lifted dodges with coils, and considering how heavy my cummins is I couldn't be happier with the ride compared to the coils. I am going to add a second steering stabilizer though.

I will take some good pictures of the undercarriage and post them later so you guys can see the work that when into it.

It's a factory 2 wheel drive, I have a divorced 205, and since I already have a dedicated wheeling rig I think I will leave this 1 alone.
