well, nothing has really been done with it... other than tearin the front end apart and mocking up some parts.

i got my headers for the truck in late last week... this weekend i went and got the bolts for the headers (the wrong ones are included with buyin these)

the next thing to be done is the control arms... the pass side had the wrong shaft in it. so thanks to djwolf37... the shafts were swapped and now the control arm is installed.

since the drivetrain is offset, i was worried about the pass side header needin to be modded... luckily thats not the case!

since i have that much room, i'm sure i won't have problems with them hitting...

also, with jays help i got the bolts and hardware needed to install the lower control arms.

since the cab side control arm mount on both sides is smaller... i'm opening the hole to 1/2in and hopefully by the end of the week i'll have the front suspension mocked up and the front clip back on to show the camber and fitment of everything
