Sweet. Flared fenders you say? I thought the stockers were already pretty flared...

Nope, the stockers are a stepside. I plan on smoothing those out to a regular fender then adding in the extra flare that the prerunner fenders have. It's usually about 6" of added wheel coverage. To scale that would be like adding a 3/4" flare to these fenders Which is about what I'll need to get the rear tires to tuck.

Ok. A decent update. Link brackets are brazed on the chassis so the rear axle is somewhat placed. Still need to make upper links. I attached the shocks just to get an idea of how it'll look. They are to far forward toward the cab. Also I couldn't mount the lower link out toward the tire like I wanted because the mounting holes for the brackets on the axles stripped out.... Not sure how I'll solve that one.

Here's a shot of the body mounts.



Cab on. Obviously the shocks won't be fully extended at ride height.



Some drop out action



Probably pretty close to where it'll stop at full bump.



Took a little longer to get things done tonight. Gunther decided the floor mat my father in law got me is now his new bed when there is shop time. :icon_scra
