So been up since 7pm last night got home from work at 8 am organised the garage a bit because I couldn't find my tools and shit. Then got to work on the runner. Made a list because I can't remember more than a minute. Torqued and marked all the bolts and got the grinder and welder out. Had a cutting blade blow up on me but had the mask on so good to go. Side note I called Danny up for some cab mount chop advise and Holly hell is all I got to say about that. Lol. I am only running 255/80/17 so I think I'll be ok with what I cut off. Thank God I am good with a grinder cause my welding is the shitttes. IMG_20190505_144451_01.jpgIMG_20190505_144531_01.jpgIMG_20190505_145144_01.jpgIMG_20190505_153936_01.jpg

According to this picture, that is a false statement.
You should have seen the blobs that I had to burn on there. I had to build up a huge gap on the back side. I didn't measure twice and cut three times. The passenger side I took my time and measured several times and cut it up in sections instead of in one wack. Here is a picture of the passenger side mid weld. 1557169681745983250408.jpgthis is only my second 2lb spool but I am digging it.

What extended rear sway bar links do you guys recommend and don't they make any for the front?

I just cut and sleeved the stock ones to be a little longer. Cost about $5 and worked just as good. You have the ability to do it yourself, so I'd just do that.
