Since sectioning my fenders somewhat limits my ability to turn, unless at full lift, I decided to narrow my front track width 2.25" total. I got brackets to move my upper arms and I am having my stock cross member modified. I hope to get it back this weekend and if so will post some updates next week.



**EDIT**
Unfortunately my cross member wasn't ready yet but I have decided to go ahead and body drop the truck while I have it apart.

Nice truck. Keep up the awsome work. ;D I think i'm going to quote somebody here but if i had the money and the space i'd do the same thing to my truck.

Got the cross member temporarily installed today. So far I  haven't come across any major issues. More to come in the next few days.

Got the bed off today and started unbolting the cab. Got the rear two bolts out but after a couple of turns both front bolts started spinning. From what I can tell my only option is to cut a hole in the floor to get the nut. Hope to get the cab off before the end of the week and start on the frame work this weekend.

what exactly did you do to your cross member? did you just raise everything up 3 inches? because obviously stock the ball joints run out, but i see you brought the top one in a few inches too, so is your whole front more narrow now?
