Ran my truck for the second time after Paris and after going head on with a built 80's F-250 I broke both motor mounts and the tail shaft bolt and threw the engine into the radiator but the whole front clip is still in great shape. Front and rear frame sections haven't even tweaked yet.

I know it not the right thread but did you do anything to beef your front clip up tofer97 or are the guys u run against just as low?

I got my front end up to 28" to the bottom of my pipe bumper by taking off the front shocks and jacking up the front end to extend the coil springs then welded a piece of pipe to a thick steel plate and welded the plate with the pipe thru the hole on top of the coil spring perch then dropped the front back down. It keeps the front from coming back down unless your radius arm gives out like mine did in which it let's the front drop to one side. Check out the number 11 hit in the booze brothers 7th annual competition it's my truck.

Oh all i did was weld the seams on the top of the fenders where the hood would lay and welded every seam on the core support that attached to the fenders
