This is tricky. The shock mounts need to be straight, but the frame and upper bar are not. I think it looks pretty good.

I split the line going across the frame. In case something happens, itll be easier to remove and replace. Yes that is a double flair union, not a compression fitting.

Rearend. Everything fits well as far as I can tell. Wheels are exactly 6-1/2" from the frame, and I could go much wider with the wheels. These are 275s. Itll probably get 305s

This side still looks like wiring vomit. Ill clean it up a little more. Some of it is the dash mounted switches and gauges just dangling there.

Personal opinion, but I think it looks best with the fender line cutting through the tire like this. Itll look better on the ground, but I still need under the truck

The wheels are tucked about 3-4 inches in. I like it, but it may have to come out more.
