Mine are tubbed for 28’s so they come all the way up to the hood. You'll need different hinges without springs and have to use a prop rod, relocate your fuse box and overflow container, eliminate your washer fluid container because there's no place for it, tub your firewall and relocate your heater fan housing. Is that what you want? I'm thinking it might be a bit extreme for what you're trying to do....
edit: forgot about the battery. There will be no place for it either up there lmao.

That doesn't answer my question of "what's your PayPal so you can send me yours..."

Finally a couple pictures of it bagged. Running Kelderman front bags on shocks up front with Belltech 2" drop spindles. Rear is the KP 4 link cantilever with watts link and mini notch.

It's sits on front fenders with another inch or so it could go. Sits on the rear fenders with almost 3 inches it could go. Not sure how much more I want to cut up at the moment. It sits pretty level with it on the fenders and it's going to be a lot of work to go more. The drive shaft is hitting the rear cross member, the bed will have to be cut up, and a new c notch installed to lay frame. Honestly not too hard.bad. But in the front I'd have to cut up the fenders and relocate everything only to be able to go down another inch with the setup I have. So it would lay out level like it does now. I'd have to change the whole front setup to lay frame. So for now, I'll leave it as is...

It looks great. And yes it is a surprising amount of work to get to the next step, to lay frame. Like you said, the rear isn’t that bad but the front is. Plus even harder to lay frame on 26’s or 28’s. Now you can imagine how much more work it is after that in order to lay rocker on 28’s like mine is set up for. It’s crazy. The more I look at these the more I want to do one myself but at the same time I’m glad I bought my first one already done. Yours really looks nice the way you have it right now, I’d be tempted to leave it. Like you said you’d have to redo pretty much everything. I like it.

The low life ain’t easy....I see it as being kinda like boating where in order to go to the next level the price and effort grows exponentially.
