you've got a hell of a lot more ground clearence than me Dusty LOL... running it like that wouldnt work for me... by the time I bought pipe, and a muffler, and misc stuff I'd have more in a fabbed up 4" system than I'm giving for this Jegs kit...

and NO, you can have the slicks LOL, I'll be needing those.

heres how the truck sits normally... no motor/trans unloads the frontend a ton haha

sorry for the cell phone pic, its old.

Your transmission crossmember

The tab on the back is modified for the 80e but the rest is stock 2001 trans crossmember. Yours is totally different then mine, and looks like the trans crossmember like on my dmax. Went all the way outside and took a pic just so you could see what Im talking about

Very similar in how they attach to the frame...

Mine is the factory cross member that came with the truck... They went to the "other" style some time in 2000 I think....

I guess this time around, I'm gonna run this 10B till it pukes.

I've had aftermarket axles in a rear already, considering them for this one.... Girdle cover, tru-trac, welded and gusseted tubes... And possibly axles?
