Sexy. I want to see the back though!

Heck, I want to see it before the 6th gen comes out

Mine was there much much longer... Yours is almost done. 5 months for the prototypes... He is so detailed though. It's hard to fault the quality.

I'm fully expecting top notch quality, he is know for quality from everything I've seen, I'm just impatient.

I was the same with both rigs. Within a day of having each back, I was happy and would do it again. Everyone else will not have to suffer since you took one for the team!

Sweet build man. Looking forward to seeing it around west sac. Too bad I didn't see this earlier. Coulda helped with your suspension. Hit me up if you ever need help with the truck. I'm around the corner from nugget.

Thanks for the offer. I down at the very South end of town, not too far from you.

I was just wondering how the MT LT in the rear has been playing with the KDSS swaybar? Have you had a chance to test it out or did you ditch the rear Swaybar?

I haven't had a chance to do any real testing, but while I had the suspension fully dropped out in the garage on jack stands, the sway bar was contacting the pan hard bar and binding up. My theory is that due to the increased lift height, it changes the angle of the sway bar, since the sway bar mounts are fixed. If one could drop the mounts by the lift height to place everything back to its original geometry, it would most likely work without binding, but I do not think that is a feasible solution. Honestly, if an aftermarket pan hard doesn't resolve this issue, ditching the KDSS will be a future mod, most likely.

Thanks for the feedback. I may do this in the future. Sounds like if you want LT you might as well just scrap the swaybar. Otherwise it would be pointless.

I picked up my bumper on Monday and saw your rig. Can't wait to see it finished.

Ps: I touched it.lol

 

[rochmpr]

Here's a few more recent pics. Should be picking up Friday. Cant wait.

Since we are running the same size tire, 34s, can you snap some photos of how Luke did the rear fender well of your rig. I need to know if I am just going to cut up my bumper myself, or bring it back up to him for the work.

Thanks

Now that is how a 5.5 gen should look! :thumb: that sh!t is legit
