Is that bagged or constant ride height? If constant, be prepared to scrape the hell out of that leading edge. I DO like the look, just extremely impractical IMO, but hey, to each his own

I'm in the PV area , that truck was just there. Ive seen a few Fd's in my area but didn't have the chance to stop and chat with anyone besides at Cars and Coffee in Scottsdale. Do you ever make it out there? Let me know about any meet ups please.

Or he had the rear jacked up....

Exactly, he's cheating! By the time the bumper hits the ground on an FD the chassis/ inner fenders would already be sitting on the tires. Kits hanging extra low like BN can touch ground but re-a kits can't.

Btw, "constant ride height" is called static.
