Took my truck out mudding and everything held up to the power of the 5.0. But as far as trail driving, who knows.

Good to see you working on her again.

Tore the front apart and moved the axle forward more. I'm guessing about 3-3.5" total now. Also chopped the radius arm brackets and brought them closer to the frame






Started on a new transmission crossmember since I needed a new one. It'll go over the dshaft instead of under, easy access to those annoying bolts



Test fit
