Spent some time on Sunday in the garage. Started to take the front end of my truck apart.

My potato was acting up so the pictures are really blurry.

I had intended to change the front shocks and springs but it seems like I'm going to have to cut this thing to get it apart. I ended up rounding off 3 of the 4 bolts that held the shocks on underneath. So I said fuck it and worked on cutting of the driver's side bump stop.

Are you planning on shortening the frame at all?

I think its cool too. Gives it a vocational HD truck vibe.

I think I'm going to bolt a simple bumper right to that crosspiece. As near as I can tell about a foot has been lopped off the front of the frame already and the engine has been moved way back.

Yeah the engine has been moved for sure. I would imagine it use to sit above the front suspension. You're going to have great front to back weight distribution!
