I got the tower installed over the weekend, it was a pretty straight forward install.
Still on the to do list:
1. Finish the brake lines (removed ABS)
2. Limit Straps
3. Bump stops
Hoping to have pictures up in the next couple days

She's coming together!
The bump stop seems really low... are you limiting a lot of bump travel? Does it bump on the radius arm?

Looks low to Me too. I set My hydraulic bumps up so that the beam was almost touching the frame on full bump. If you have moved the wheels forward slightly, there is no need to move anything........

Yes it bumps on the radius arm...I tried getting the most bump without binding the shock. Strapped at 15.5" travel. I was told that those rubber bumps will compress about 1.5"

Looks great.... couple of questions
1) What happened to the spare tire carrier and the holes more importantly?
2) What size tires are you running, 33s?
3) What are you doing in the rear for suspension?

1. I removed the spare tire carrier and welded up the holes
2. Yes those are 33's I plan on stepping up to 35's once these tires are worn out
3. I will be running solo's shackle/relocater and f53's...I would like to run a 12" king tripple bypass as well but will be a while $$$$$ haha. For the time being i am running a 2"block and bilstein 5100's.

The tailgate looks great without the factory panel! How much of the rear did you have repainted?
