Is that your real rig? Can't wait to see the monster. Looks like full width 60's with the tires sticking out.

Is it full droop, or does it have some up travel?

Not much done but bed is backtogether, primed...and mounted. More detail work to be done and bumpers/cage eventually.



the longbed fits well with the stance



still a decent departure angle with the tailgate



just barely rubs at full stuff

I just realized that the part you bob'd out of the bed you added up front. This truck is definitely wicked looking, curious to see how you scale it out
