I like the custom bridge work.
Why did you choose bag over axle with watts link for the rear setup?

I want to tow my nissan with this truck so I figured sacrifice a little ride quality for towing compacity. I wanted watts link and parallel 4 link also for towing. It seems the most solid way to set up the rear.

Nice. That's kind of the answer I was expecting/wanting to hear because I am doing my research on what I want to do with the rear of my truck as well.

You will have to post a picture of your links and how they are set up at ride height.

December is the plan. I'm not really planning on doing much else to this truck besides drive it. Maybe door speakers later. It already has two 10s
I've got to start saving to finish my nissan project

Why Z the frame instead of raising the crossmember that holds the steering rack? Just curious. I'm assuming you want to be able to lay it down to the body and that's why it's Z'd.
I'm trying to figure out a way to bag mine but retain 4wd. Just to be that guy lol. Nothing like laying frame and seeing the looks on their faces when you tell them it's still 4wd
Cant wait to see it finished!
EDIT*** I just looked at some of your front end pictures compared to mine, (2006 4wd) completely different front end setups. Either way, a Z would be easier than moving 2 crossmembers that house the control arm mounts. Answered my own question lol
