    Orion - that looks great. That bumper should really be complimented with more wheel offset though

    Also, be careful, those will add a lot of rotational mass & unsprung weight...

    Yeah, good point. I think he should just swap in the front diff and a-arms from a full size Chevy instead. Widetrack and better strength and better braking... then he could use a dually rear axle to match too!
