well the trussed 44 is done and installed as of tonight,and the re-installation of the front clip will happen in the next day or so, also if anyone happens to have any suggestions on which brand of suspention bushings I should order to replace the worn ones in my Tough Country front springs I would love to know.

if you can't tell I have done all the work to this big bad bowtie myself, and I specialize in desing and fabrecating heavy duty offroad bumpers and other components (Not shown in use yet)
