Looks really good!
What was your reason for not having the rear hoop diagonals in a straight line?
And how did you come up with the rear end geometry? Was it fit and test or a computer program?
How was your first ride?

im sorry but if i had a shop do that to my truck id sue for attemptive homicide.

your rear lower bars arent strong enough, the rear coils need to be double sheared at the upper mount, your stock frankenspindles look even worse then your uca's. all of that wouldnt be to bad if it had a roll cage that wouldnt kill you in the cab. could you have got the bars any further from the cab or any closer to the drivers head? get pictures of the first jump

I would kill for a truck like this. And ya know what? I'd get away with it too. Where did you get your front suspension, and what brand is it? Good looking truck!
