Looking Badass. You should keep the guy on the front tub when finished.

I think we nailed the stance on this one two. Rear tires might be thin, but at least they are 375 wide.

Do they hold air or are the press-ons? :D

Hard to tell from the pictures how much turning radius it'll have, are you running bags in the front? Can you explain how you did the inner wheel wells? Looks like the arch was formed and the edge was either hammer formed or bead rolled. Am I close?

As always the level of craftsmanship is top notch, you and the crew turn out some real nice stuff. :thumbsup:

Should have full turning radius. We narrowed the track width on the suspension and are looking at re hooping the wheels to improve the scrub.

The wheel tubs are pretty simply made with a standard tank roll. The only trick is that the wheel tubs split and an inch or two of the outside is with the fender and the rest is a separate piece making the inner fender. The firewall down bars were done to give us strength for the hinges and go higher then the stock inner fender and look better. The hood has a bit of work on it where the flange would hit the wheel tub but its not much to lose any strength in the heavy hood.

It's really not as complicated as it looks.

We have also done quite a bit to raise the bed floor to get this truck down in the weeds. The rocker is nearly 5" off the ground.

We are cutting the entire rear suspension out of the truck put in something that will have chance at traction with close to 600hp. And working on some kind of custom bed strips.
