no problems at all, all the holes lined up. it's pretty much the opposite battery in front & sevo in rear, I will try to post some detailed pics this weekend. I credit King Bling for the set up

thanks, sorry to hear about your buddy girl. I wanted it to be a little darker, but it matches the beadlocks pretty good. I thought about black but my Dodge cummins was black & it sucks to clean. My dumb *** will probably buy another black truck too.

Looks great. I just finished changing my battery to the front today. What kind of shocks are you using? The WK shocks are to stiff on mine and Maxx shocks are to short. Thats all I have at the moment. I'm going to be using the same body on mine, I already have it on my Stick. Thanks, Jason |
