Still need to get that video clip for ya, I haven't forgotten.

But some update. Buddy of mine in Louisiana has some 6 lug 16x12 scorpios that he is going to sell me so I don't have to run a 6 to 8 lug adapter. Also found a 1.5 body lift for cheap that I am going to buy that way I can do a HD front end and not cut the frame horns.

Thanks I am excited for this too just piecing it together slowly. It needs tires soon so I am trying to get the wheels on soon. Also trying to figure out how I am going to fit the 16s since it came with 17 stock. either going to grind the caliper or run a spacer I just don't want it to rub.

Even though it came with 17's, the 16's will fit without modification to the caliper. Brakes didn't change until the NNBS which do require 17" wheels or bigger.

Hmmmm good to know. I know all the lift companies say that it requires 17 or bigger cause of the brakes. But that makes it much easier for me!

Well currently the 16x12 are now in GA with a friend who will bring them the next time he heads down which should be soon. Also bought the 1.5 body lift today for 65$ and is being shipped today. Owner said its brand new that he just never got around to installing. Also purchased a spike billet antenna from Billet by Luz

Some pictures. Tires are off the rims now.

Threw the body lift on today, was very simple. Went to do the front bumper left but realized you had to cut the stock bumper brackets so I decided not to since I am planning on doing the HD front. Also cranked the keys so it sits more level now. Fenders are at around 38 now from ground to center of wheel well
