I kinda forgot about this thread so I guess I will update this thread I ended up ditching the 454 because it decided to eat Ann exhaust valve so I swap it for an 06 6.0l
I'm waiting on the 24 semis to get back from the powder coaters before I cut the front spring

Tire size is a 215/85/16 ill be running a 275/30/24 on the semi ill post picture here in a bit
