Both bars at 0*

And roughly where the bags will sit

These are NOT the bags I'm using, I'm going to run the new f9200s instead, and the upper link bracket will probably be part of the bag bracket.

Wanted to add a gusset for the upper link mounts

once again this is impressive, Its not everyday you see a truck like this.

There was a guy about 4 years ago that did the same thing with a 2003 or 2004 extended cab short bed. He built a tube chassis for it and it layed rocker with out much of body drop. I was impressed and he was I think 23 or 24 years old. It was the stock dark metallic blue that came on 05 silverado's.

thanks man, I'm interested in seeing that truck, haven't seen it. I was going to lay rocker, but I decided to keep it .75" away just to keep my rockers safe.

you big chicken! LOL:D
