Yeah I saw it. I hope he can get one fabbed up for a truck like mine. I would love to have something similar to that.

That pic in stotq is just a quick mockup of the plate itself. The plate I am working on will have "wings" off the side as well as dimple died holes. I am still waiting on my dimple die. It's been two weeks since I ordered it.

Dan is coming down this weekend to test fit a plate for non suspension lifted trucks and then I will have these ready.

What about a 2wd lifted truck? Could I take some measure measurements to send to you to see if they were the same?

That is so different from a 4wd that I'll need one here in person to set it up. Maybe in a few more weeks.

Anybody local want to test fit a 2wd plate?

I have a buddy with an 06 2500 that I am going to mock one up on soon. Should be done by the end of the month. You will be the first to get pics!

I am working on version two of this plate right now. Should be done by thursday. This one is for sale for cheap to anybody that has a suspension lift.

By the end of October I should have lifted and non lifted versions of the 4wd 1500 plate, as well as a 2500 plate.

I know this doesn't fully cover the dropped cross member on my suspension lift, it was a prototype. The new ones will all offer complete coverage.

I wouldn't attach a license plate to that flimsy bumper! The forward mounts attach to the frame.

hmm i think if you can build one for OE I might end up getting one...especially if its dimpled and has wings, less plain...I think I decided to keep the truck so will probably be putting on a crossmember drop next spring and it would fit just like his

I am guessing he has a piece of metal with holes bent/or welded to the top that lines up with the four (two on each side) bolts on the frame. Just a thought.
