No, the kit did come with front brackets but they are obvious. Rear brackets were optional but there is plenty of room to simple redrill the frame to move the bumper up using the stock brackets. No need to waste 60 bucks on relocation brackets.

Just found out I need to get an e-test done on my truck now to before I can get a new sticker for my plates.

Guess I'll get to find out how bad of a loop my truck will throw the e-test guys for lol. Glad I got that check engine light off last summer.

As long as you have cats, I don't see why your truck would fail. :dancingpoop:

Ya the truck has cats but they don't just do the sniff test here now. They actually hook there computer up to the OBD port and if you any engine codes showing at all or try and clear them before you take it in its an instant fail. Stupidest system in the world I've heard of brand new cars failing before lol.

I've got all my engine codes off now but I've still got ABS and park brake lights lit up. Don't know if that will cause any problems or the fact that it's got an 05 PCM in a 98 truck lol.... Should be fine though..... I hope

Been fighting with my front bumper. Seems Performance Accessories cant make a front bumper bracket to save their life. Doesn't line up for ****, trim here, shave there. The front bumper is the worst part of the whole body lift so far!

On a happier note, I ordered a Hayden 1405 tranny cooler. 15 3/4 x 10 x 3/4 Good for 26000 LB GVW trucks. I think it should more than do the job for me.

LOL isnt that the way it always goes?

Yeah apparently when they went to the plug in test they dropped it to one year its good for -_-

Nice car too man! Looks like a fun project!

I listed my 60/70 today, think im going to flip them and get a 2500 parts truck instead to work from. That way I have everything I need right there plus I can part the rest out for more cash towards the project. And I dont have to listen to my mother go on about them sitting there anymore.

Happy Hemi day all! :D
