Are you doing the work yourself? What are your plans on how to fix the place you had to cut for the lift? I've been asking around on how much it would be to return my truck to stock and every place wants over 1k!

I am going to see if outlaw has a crossmember laying around, and any make/model will work since I can cut, grind, weld, and drill to make it work. Those places want so much because they have to fabricate stuff that is connected to your frame. I was planning on fabricating and welding on a gusset to reinforce the place where the LCA connects to the front bracket anyways, cause it looks weak.

Thank you for bringing that up. I never even thought if that before.

Sorry for all the questions haha but back to the rear end, why would you have to cut a foot off your frame and shorten it? Don't they make bedsides for 6.5' beds?

Don't shorten the bed. Just have them flare the sides out and work on your suspension more.
