And as a consequence of the body lift.... the tire/fender relation changed...... which is a bonus as I had interference ever so slightly with the tire/fender...
now I should be able to fully maneuver and drive with the suspension slammed..........


Slammed:


Ride Height:

Ride Height #2 (Pretty happy how this turned out)


Maximum Vertical Clearance:

Maximum#2


Should be able to get over any obstacle I can encounter with the slung saddle tanks & hanging 4-link brackets......

I also started to like the 'drive axle' tire pattern being in the front.....gives it a tougher look.....

I think I will now be putting a 'drive axle' tire on the steer wheels up front as well now.....

I know theres going to be a ton of people now going off about putting drive axle tires on the steer position...... just a heads up Ford and GM do it from the factory on all there medium duty dually 4x4 "off-road" service trucks with 19.5" rims..... (I'm not an semi truck with 80,000 lb gv)

(aka also look at any railroad service truck with 19.5 singles.... drive tires in the steer position)


Questions/comments always welcome..
