Default sittin on mtz's

i finally finished my extremely painful process of putting on a daystar leveling kit, rancho shocks, and 2" rear blocks. none of those things were the problem tho, it all came from rusted and seized up bolts. ended up with new bushings, new sway bar links, even an entire new lower control arm! but, the truck looks great. sitting on mickey thompson 265/75 16 mtz's and black american eagle rims. cant be all good tho, got a good amount of fender rub front and back of front tires. im not very experienced with body work either so i have no clue. but once i fix it and get my stainless tube steps on ill post some pics

i dont need the control arm to install. so messed up bushings is no biggie. i need it to make a jig so i can start mass producing some extended arms for our lift kit.

would you be interested in making a few bones and shipping it to me. ill cover the shipping and give ya a little extra.
