Okay sweet! Glad I'm not gonna look like I skipped leg day haha

Not at all. I had the exact same dilemma as you and am glad I didn't go up

Updated pic. Nothing new besides a revalve on the FOAs. Probably going to get a rear bumper built this summer but other than that I can't see any major upgrades happening for awhile.

Update on the truck:

Had some work done to the rear of the truck. Picked up a set of nationals that are the same as f31s, kartek drop hangers moved back, and stock shackles. Still running 10" shocks in the stock location for now. Also had a rear bumper built and besides cut. Sits a little lower in the rear but I don't mind too much. Here's some pictures









How does one remove the spare tire carrier under the bed? I want to add some reservoirs to my shocks but can't with that in the way.

It's held in with rivets, so you can grind the heads off and knock them out. You'll probably have to cut up the crossmember to get it out.

I have the front half of mine cut out, and I fabricated a new crossmember to replace it.

Truck looks good btw.

Are you able to get to the top rivets without taking the bed off?

Possibly, but it would be a gigantic pain in the ass. Pulling the bed would make the whole job easier.

This is what I'm going to end up doing. Thanks for the help!

No problem!


Here's a few pics of what I did with mine, if it helps.

Yep, hangs off the front of it.
