Yes they do! Nice work with the bumper Greg, I am digging it. Now stop doing such a good job, you are making me and my cobbled together rig look bad, lol.

Thanks Jason & Mike!

I cut 7" off the front cable mount tubes, re-drilled them, and slapped some rubber pads on the roof.

Had to put the War153 shackles back on (grrrr) to get some lift from my ever shrinking leafs. Got 2" out of them surprisingly. That should help until a new set get installed.

I also loosened up the U-bolts and shifted the axle over 3/4". Some how when the rear took that hit (rock wall) it shifted it over. I noticed the U-bolt positions on the axle tube and realized it. I had thought it was moved over that far from the rear frame rails being tweaked

I used a BF breaker bar and tightened up them U-bolts. Should stay in place now.

Just got around to taking some new pics.

1st off, the lowered cable mounts.

The dreaded war153 shackles back on.

This is the space I need to run with the 35" tires on and hopefully when I get around to building the F-150 packs it will look the same.

Some fresh paint on the front stuff

I decided to get rid of the rest of the tupperware on the rig, so the rocker trim came off. I have been reluctant to remove them from fear of finding the dreaded cancer under them like so many have discovered. Too my shock & awe, they looked as good as new on both sides and a factory finish paint still there

Looking down the sides of the exposed sliders.

The spare tire carrier had a wobble to it from the 1/8" size diff in the tubes. I made a shim and slid it up in between them and the spare is now rock solid and does not move at all. Excited about that simple fix....lol

The list of things to do are shrinking fast! Still a few things left to do before Smorr in May. I don't see a problem getting the list done either! Woot!

Any plans to hit the bottom of the truck with some bed liner? Also I think now that your plastics are off, your fender flares would look good if you tapered the ends down so they didn't just end. May keep some rocks and stuff from hitting your paint too. Love the new bumper too.

They are tapered on the ends already. I have em the way they are on because when they were longer and going down the fenders to the sliders, they wanted to roll/curl inward and not work.

Hmm, 2 hours of decadence is all I need to finish up the mods.

Where is Silver Dollar City? I went there not long before it moved to MO.

 

[gmanpaint]

Steal Your Dollar City is in Branson MO. It's a major attraction there.
