The chassis is mocked up... The body is taken off the rotisserie and placed on the chassis. First step is remove the rear coils and cycle the rear axle to make sure th 35 inch tires are in the center of the custom rear wheel openings. Next is to make sure he rear axle is square to the frame so it is not crabbing down the road... Finally the height of the rear spring buckets is determined so the truck does not have a stink bug stance... Lots to consider. Finally the body will be placed back on the rotisserie for final painting and all of the chassis components will be welded on to the chassis and chassis will be disassembled and painted. Lots to think about. Very nice kit from James Duff. Mark in San Diego, Beach City Broncos.

Looks really tall. I know that it's not loaded with all it's weight.
How much suspension lift will it be in the end result?
I see the body lift pucks in your pics.
We had one of their earlier version of the 4-link 5" lift and did some modifications to it to bring it down to 2.5'-3".
