I figured with the body lift I COULD keep the bars around 23.5"-24" and be fine with the room. I'd have to look again, but I think I found one or two 2" kits that have the bumper brackets. If not, fabbing is not a major issue. Although I manage a millwork shop that mainly deals with wood, a few of our clients have us do some metal work here and there. I'm always looking for an excuse to crank up the Miller Mig and burn some wire...lol.

My bolts are pretty well maxxed out. Is this a sign that my t-bars are getting weak, or just that my Scab has more front end weight than a reg. cab?
If this is normal, then I assume the aftermarket keys won't cause any problems, provided I adhere to the 24.25" GOLDEN RULE. The truck has over 230.000 miles on it, so all new front end parts are going in as well.

Also, I'm including a 2" body lift in my plans so I will have a little more freedom in wheel backspace and offset choices.
